Tuna Salad with Greek Yogurt

I used to eat tuna salad all of the time when I was younger. However, it's typically mixed with globs of mayo to make it a creamy texture.  Instead of using mayo, which is high in fat and calories, I discovered that if you use plain greek yogurt you can't even tell the difference! Plain greek yogurt is a great substitute because it's high in protein and eliminates the fat.  To make this tuna salad, I just threw a bunch of different things together, and it turned out to be delicious!

Ingredients:
1 packet Starkist low sodium Chunk Light Tuna in water
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
1 hardboiled egg (just the whites)
1/2 cup cooked spinach
a few small cut up pieces of red bell pepper
1 tsp honey dijon mustard
1/2 tsp of Mrs. Dash Italian Medley
1/2 tsp of garlic powder

Open the packet of tuna and drain out the water.  Then combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. I put it on a piece of ezekiel bread.  You can also wrap it in a low-carb/high fiber tortilla, or even lettuce!
