Ingredients

  • 1 12-ounce can chunk light tuna in water (or two 6-ounce cans), drained and flaked (see Note)
  • 1 16-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped black olives, preferably imported Kalamata
  • 1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, or 1/2 teaspoon dried

Preparation

  1. Combine tuna, artichoke hearts, olives, mayonnaise, lemon juice and oregano in a bowl.

Tips & Notes

  • Note: Chunk light tuna, which comes from the smaller skipjack or yellowfin, has less mercury than canned white albacore tuna. The FDA/EPA advises that women who are or might become pregnant, nursing mothers and young children consume no more than 6 ounces of albacore a week; up to 12 ounces of canned light tuna is considered safe.
