Mediterranean Tuna Salad

This tuna salad is so good, I found it today and ate it for both lunch and dinner, just couldn't get enough! I was so happy to find it because I've only ever really made tuna salad with mayo and this is just so different and mayo-less. The tahini is pretty packed with calories, but the flavor is so worth it and the salad is filling enough to not overdo portions

  • 2/3 c. nonfat plain yogurt
  • 1/4 c. tahini (sesame seed paste)
  • 4 small cans of tuna in water, drained
  • 2 tsp. cumin
  • 1 15 oz. can of garbanzo beans (chick peas), rinsed and drained
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp. lemon juice
Mix all ingredients in a medium size bowl, serve on a bed of greens, in a pita or with crackers. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!
