Ingredients

• 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna (in olive oil, drained)
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon capers (drained and chopped)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.25 cup red onion (finely diced)
• 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons black olives (sliced)
• 4 pieces crusty bread rolls (or ciabatta)
• 1 cup mixed greens (or arugula)
• 0.25 cup feta cheese (crumbled, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, and Greek yogurt. Mix well until the tuna is fully incorporated.

Step 2

Add the parsley, capers, lemon juice, minced garlic, diced red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, and sliced black olives to the tuna mixture. Stir to combine evenly.

Step 3

Taste the tuna mixture and season with salt and pepper as desired. Adjust the lemon juice for more brightness, if necessary.

Step 4

Slice the crusty bread rolls in half horizontally. If desired, lightly toast them for added texture.

Step 5

Spread an even layer of the tuna mixture onto the bottom half of each bread roll.

Step 6

Top the tuna layer with mixed greens (or arugula) and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, if using.

Step 7

Cover with the top half of the bread roll to form a sandwich. Gently press down to secure the ingredients.

Step 8

Serve immediately, or wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours for a chilled sandwich experience.
