Tuna Salad
- 1 (5-ounce) can no-salt-added solid white tuna in water, drained
- 3 tablespoons reduced-fat plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives

Instructions
- Prepare the Tuna Salad: In a small bowl, combine the drained tuna, reduced-fat plain strained Greek-style yogurt, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, finely chopped shallot, fresh chives, fresh dill, garlic powder, ground pepper, and salt. Stir everything together until well blended and creamy.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the prepared tuna salad evenly on one side of each slice of whole-wheat bread. Arrange the thinly sliced Persian cucumbers on top of the tuna spread on one slice. Place the second slice of bread, tuna side down, on top of the cucumber-covered slice to form a sandwich.

- Substitute Greek-style yogurt with regular plain yogurt if needed.
- For extra crunch, consider adding lettuce or tomato slices.

- Adjust herbs and seasoning to taste for a personalized flavor.
