Mediterranean-Style Tuna Salad Sandwich

This Mediterranean-style Tuna Salad Sandwich recipe is a healthy, versatile, high-protein meal.

Instead of mayonnaise, we dressed it with lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil and added colorful veggies for extra crunch and nutrition.

Make multiple servings of the tuna mixture in this recipe and use in sandwiches, salads, and even tossed with cooked whole-grain pasta.

You can also make a sandwich using lettuce leaves instead of bread.
