My husband loves tuna salad, and I gave him this recipe for Tuna Salad with Yogurt, Capers, and Za'atar to try. He loved it! You can serve it on a bed of lettuce or with pita bread. Za'atar is a spice mixture from the Middle East. You can buy it or make it yourself. I have provided a recipe.
- Yields: 2 Servings
Directions
1In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients together. Serve to your preference.
Za’atar
1For each spice mix, in a small bowl, combine all the ingredients.
2Whisk the spices together until evenly combined.
3Stored in an airtight glass jar, these spice blends can keep for a year. Never store spice mixes in plastic.
Tip
1To turn this into a tuna melt, turn the oven on to broil. Slice the bread of your choice, brush both sides of the slices with olive oil, and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminium foil. Place a hefty scoop of tuna salad on each slice of bread. Top with cheese of your choice (feta and halloumi are good options). Broil for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese begins to brown. Serve hot.

Interesting recipe, so I’ll give it a try, since we love tuna. One thing – is that a 5 oz. can of tuna yields 4 oz. after you drain it, so IMO – it’s not enough for 2 normal servings.
