Ingredients

• 2 Whole grain sub rolls
• 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna in water, drained
• 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt, plain
• 1 stalk Celery, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Red onion, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 Tomato, sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the tuna filling. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained tuna, plain Greek yogurt, finely chopped celery, diced red onion, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley.

Step 2

Gently mix all the ingredients until well incorporated. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 3

Slice the whole grain sub rolls lengthwise, but do not slice all the way through. This helps keep the filling in place.

Step 4

Open the rolls and evenly layer fresh spinach leaves on the bottom part of each roll.

Step 5

Divide the tuna mixture between the two rolls, spooning it over the spinach layer without overstuffing.

Step 6

Add slices of tomato on top of the tuna mixture, adjusting the quantity to your liking. Close the sub rolls.

Step 7

Serve the heart-healthy tuna subs immediately for the freshest taste. Enjoy!
