Keep in mind like with any recipe that you can alter the ingredients, for example how much oil to use. As long as you are tracking your fat and other “accessories” in 2B Mindset, you are prepared!
The next step to a delicious Mediterranean tuna salad meal is the veggies. Cucumbers, peppers, and red onion give this salad a ton of flavor. Add more if you prefer.

If you are having this dish as a lunch or snack you can even consider adding a fiber-filled carbohydrate like garbanzo beans or having your salad with some whole-grain crackers or a slice of pita bread.
