update: the original version of these i posted below aren’t paleo unless you eat dairy. that said, you can still use the seasoning without the yogurt, and still have a really delicious and light treat. to get the seasoning to bind with the tuna, i suggest using a mixture of little lemon and olive oil. mix the two with your seasonings in a bowl prior to mixing with the tuna. in place of diced avocado, you could also use avo-ziki sauce, helping to add some additional moisture if you feel the tuna is too dry…
remember that amazingly decadent, yet low-cal, southwestern tuna melt i posted? here is an even lower-cal version of it, perfect for hot summer days! prepare the tuna just as you did for the melt (see here), but rather than serving on bread, serve it in romaine lettuce. you can even cut back on the amount of yogurt you use to save those extra calories if you’re counting. top it with some pico de gallo salsa, a little bit of avocado, and some feta cheese for a high protein lunch that’s sure to fill you up for hours. this is my favorite pre-workout lunch, and i’m never starving after. serve with a side of fresh fruit or melon for a little sweetness. enjoy!
