Looking for a tasty, easy lunch idea? Look no further than this tuna salad with Greek yogurt! This one has all the flavour of a traditional tuna salad recipe, lightened up! Plus, there’s avocado, spinach and tomato for extra deliciousness!

Today I’m sharing a delicious recipe that would be perfect for lunch today.
This tuna salad with Greek yogurt has all the flavour of a delicious tuna salad sandwich, but lighter.
So, what makes this a lighter tuna salad? It’s made with Greek yogurt instead of the traditional mayo that one would find in a salad sandwich!
You know what that means?
Things are still nice-n-creamy, but Dawn gets to enjoy extra potato chips! Woot woot!
Yep, whenever I have a “salad” sandwich, like an egg salad or curry chicken salad, I have to have chips and a fizzy drink, like flavoured carbonated water or a soda.
What do you like to have with a wrap or sandwich?
How To Make This Tuna Salad With Greek Yogurt
Full details on how to make this tuna wrap recipe are in the recipe card below, but here are the basics:
- Add the canned tuna, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, celery, green onion, dill, pepper, cayenne pepper and salt to a bowl, then mix together.
- For each wrap, spread some whole grain mustard on one half of a tortilla.
- Top the mustard with baby spinach, sliced avocado, sliced tomato and some tuna salad mixture.
- Fold into a wrap. Cut the wraps in half (if you like).

Do I Have To Use a Tortilla?
Not at all!
As an alternative to tortillas, try serving the tuna salad on your favourite sandwich bread.
Looking for something lower carb? Use lettuce leaves instead of tortillas (Boston lettuce works great).

Tips and Variations
- This recipe can easily be doubled.
- Ensure your can of tuna is well-drained, otherwise, your wrap will be a soggy mess and nobody wants that.
- Spinach wraps were used, but you can use whatever variety you enjoy best!
- If you want to add some richness to the mix, feel free to use half Greek yogurt and half mayo.
- Some roughly chopped capers (like I used in this tuna melt recipe) is a lovely addition.
- Instead of celery, try finely chopped bell pepper.
- Try Dijon mustard instead of whole grain.
- Instead of sliced avocado as a garnish, guacamole or simply mashed avocado would work great.
- Baby arugula or baby kale are other yummy veggie options.

Tuna Salad with Greek Yogurt (On a Wrap)
Ingredients
- 1 (6-ounce or 170-gram) can tuna in water, drained well
- 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard, plus more for wrap (if desired)
- 1 rib celery, finely chopped
- 1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- pinch salt
- 2 large flour tortillas (spinach flavoured or regular), each tortilla about 9.5 to 10 inches in diameter
Garnish Ideas (optional, but delicious)
- Leaf lettuce or spinach
- Sliced tomato
- Sliced avocado
Instructions
- To make the tuna salad, in a medium bowl, mix well-drained tuna with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, whole grain mustard, celery, green onion, dill, black pepper, cayenne pepper and salt until well combined.
- To assemble the wraps, spread some more whole grain mustard (optional and to taste) onto one half of each tortilla. Top (to taste) with some spinach, sliced avocado and tomato (if using). Then divide the tuna salad mixture between the two tortillas.
- To fold the wraps: For each one, bring the bottom of the tortilla up over the ingredients (covering them) and then gently pull it back towards you to tighten. Fold in each side, then begin to tightly roll the wrap (keeping everything tucked in as you roll, so it's compact). I like to fold wraps burrito-style. Alternatively, you can fold the wrap your favourite way. Cut in half, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure your can of tuna is well-drained, otherwise, your wrap will be a soggy mess and nobody wants that.
- This recipe can easily be doubled.

Leanne says
It’s great that this is made healthier with the greek yogurt. I can’t eat mayo, so I haven’t been enjoying tuna salad as much these days. But I always have tuna and wraps on hand, so this would be great to try out for lunch some time. And I’ll have to go with lots of pickles on the side!
Dawn - Girl Heart Food says
Right? Thanks Leanne! Tuna salad with pickles is always a yummy idea, if you ask me.
Kathy @ Beyond the Chicken Coop says
I love a good tuna salad and adding it to a wrap is such a great idea. All the extras do make this an amazing lunch. I never would have thought to add baby spinach, but now I’m going to!
Dawn - Girl Heart Food says
Me too! Thank you Kathy! Enjoy 🙂

I always have to have dill pickles along with sandwiches or wraps. (And usually in my sandwiches/wraps too!) I love that you used yogurt in your tuna salad. I always have yogurt on hand and I really don’t like mayo so this is perfect for me!
David @ Spiced says
I totally chuckled outloud at the comment about extra chips – you nailed it exactly there! We do the same thing ourselves here. Laura and I have been loading all of the sandwich toppings on one piece of bread so that we can have extra chips. 🙂 Speaking of sandwiches, these wraps look amazing! I think I’ll pick up some wraps on our next adventure out to the store. Yum!!
Dawn - Girl Heart Food says
Lol…right?? Gotta have those chips! Thanks David!
