Ingredients

• 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna in water, unsalted
• 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened
• 0.25 cup celery, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped

• 2 rolls whole wheat submarine rolls, low sodium
• 4 leaves romaine lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Begin by draining the water from the canned tuna thoroughly. Place the tuna in a large mixing bowl and flake it apart with a fork.

Step 2

Add the plain Greek yogurt to the bowl with the tuna to replace traditional mayonnaise, keeping the mixture creamy without added sodium.

Step 3

Stir in the finely chopped celery and red onion for a bit of crunch and flavor.

Step 4

Add the minced fresh dill, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and freshly ground black pepper to the tuna mixture. Mix all the ingredients until well combined and set aside.

Step 5

Cut the whole wheat submarine rolls in half horizontally and toast them lightly if desired.

Step 6

Lay two romaine lettuce leaves on the bottom half of each roll.

Step 7

Place a generous amount of the prepared low sodium tuna mixture on top of the lettuce.

Step 8

Top with sliced tomato and cucumber for additional freshness and crunch.

Step 9

Finish each sub by placing the upper half of the roll on top and slice in half if desired before serving.
