Directions
Step 1
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Flake it with a fork to break apart any large chunks.

Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the low-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the cilantro mayo dressing.
Step 4
Pour the cilantro mayo dressing over the tuna and vegetable mixture. Gently stir everything together until well combined and coated with the dressing.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, lime juice, or pepper if desired.
Step 6
Serve the tuna salad on a bed of mixed greens or scoop it into lettuce leaves for a fresh and healthy wrap option.
