Tuna Melt with Greek Yogurt

Los Angeles Recipe Developer and Chef Sara Tane created a recipe for a sponsored collaboration. She said, “I  could probably eat a tuna melt for lunch every day. It’s so satisfying (chock full of protein!) and keeps me full and energized for the rest of the day.”

She adds our Organic Greek Yogurt to tuna salad because it’s thick, creamy, and so delicious. She keeps a tub of Straus Organic Greek Yogurt in her fridge at all times because it’s so versatile—perfect for anything like this tuna melt or baked goods to salad dressings to yogurt bowls.
