This easy tuna salad recipe is bursting with Mediterranean flavors—and it is ready in just 20 minutes. Serve it on its own, on a sliced of toasted wheat bread, or atop a bed of peppery arugula or milder-flavor baby spinach. We’ve opted for plain Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise to give this dish a boost of protein while maintaining its creaminess. You’ll need just half a lemon to produce enough zest and juice for this recipe. Red bell peppers give this dish color and sweetness, but you can substitute a yellow or orange one. Don’t substitute a green bell pepper though, as their flavor isn’t sweet enough.
