2 (6-ounce) cans chunk light tuna in water, drained well
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup chopped calamata olives
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups pre-washed mixed greens (about 3 ounces)
4 whole-grain wrap breads (about 2 ounces each)
2 large tomatoes, sliced

In a medium bowl combine the tuna, onion, parsley, olives.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Pour about 2/3 the dressing over the tuna mixture and toss to combine. In a separate bowl, pour the rest of the dressing over the greens and toss to combine.
Place some tuna salad onto each piece of wrap bread. Top with 1 1/2 cups of greens and a few tomato slices. Roll the wraps and serve.
