Mediterranean Tuna Wrap
Heart-healthy and satisfying, this Mediterranean Tuna Wrap is loaded with good for you veggies, beans and protein. Rolled up in a multi-grain wrap, this is the best portable lunch on the planet.
Sandwiches are easy. So easy they get boring because you end up making the exact same thing every single day. And taking leftovers to work the very day after you just had them for dinner takes a little of the excitement out of your short mid-day break. Even working from home, I get caught in the same lunchtime rut even though I usually have already eaten a pint of frosting or a gallon of chocolate chips by 11 AM. You want something quick and easy but equally tasty. You want that sandwich to make you sing and dance down the cubicle aisles. I have that sandwich for you. 🙂
Well, you may not sing and dance down the cubical aisles, you may just do a butt dance in your office chair….but this Mediterranean Tuna Wrap is all that. It’s so full of fresh, zesty flavor it will make your mouth sing….involuntarily. I can’t be blamed if you start belting out All the Single Ladies at your desk. It’s not my fault. Control yourself now.
And guess what??? It’s easy to make. And you can even make the salad ahead of time, it’s better a few hours later or even the next day. Low-carb peeps….ditch the wrap and just pile some of the Mediterranean Tuna salad on a bed of lettuce, drizzle with the Roasted Garlic Aioli from the day before and be happy. You’re going to enjoy the best #notsaddesklunch in the world. Ok, maybe I exaggerated the whole time but this is really amazing. You can’t go wrong with tuna, marinated artichokes, sweet and spicy pepper, olives, spinach, beans….you’ll be able to lift your desk and heave it out the window if you want. 🙂
Or use that energy to go to the gym…..like I haven’t been….and come back to fill me in on how it was. I vaguely remember what the inside of a gym looks like these days but after I eat my Mediterranean Tuna Wrap for lunch today that will change. Maybe. Or, maybe, I’ll just bake a cake. Cake is awesome too.

Love all of these flavors – perfect light meal!
Nice sandwich! I totally relate to snacking til your full before 11…crazy!
Yum! This looks totally awesome and has a lot of yummy ingredients!
I’m guessing the fresh basil adds so much extra flavor!
I swear that many tuna salad-haters have never eaten a tuna salad with tons of mix-ins. They need to try this recipe – it looks so good!
This looks amazing! Totally healthy and fits in my healthy lifestyle! Im doing the office dance now just thinking about it!
I love all things Mediterranean and this sounds so good just gimme a fork to eat all that filling!
Lovely Mediterranean flavors in this beautiful wrap! I’m so glad to see that you used oil packed tuna, too. It makes a world of difference in taste!
I’d be the one dancing down the cubicle aisles, followed by a butt dance when my co-workers force me to sit down. This Mediterranean wrap would be perfect for lunch!! Love.
All of your talk about cubicles and lunchtime reminded me of a job where – can you believe it – bringing fish of any kind for lunch was ‘outlawed’ because people complained about the fish smell wafting through the office! Glad I don’t work there any more because I’d love this wrap for lunch any and every day of the week!
I love how healthy and fun this is. I always get so bored with tuna, so this is a great way to use it with more pizzazz!
That looks like a perfect lunch item for tomorrow!
My mouth just watered up a bit… This is definitely a wrap with all my favorites!
This is definitely not boring! My cubicle is in the corner of my kitchen, so I will let the singing and dancing commence. This is going on my lunch menu this week!
As an adult I hate almost all fish except canned tuna. I know, so weird. This tuna wrap looks fantastic and I’m loving all the flavor packed into this bad boy.
