Instructions
- In a bowl, mix drained tuna, yogurt, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Use a fork to break up tuna into flakes.
- Gently mix in red onion, cherry tomatoes, carrots, grapes, capers, fresh parsley, (optional hemp hearts), and crumbled feta. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
- Spread the tuna salad on one slice of the bread. Top with the other slice to form a sandwich.

Notes
- TO STORE: Store tuna salad in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 - 3 days. Prepare sandwich before consumption.
- MAKE PALEO: Swap crumble feta for dairy free alternative and use dairy free yogurt or light mayo.
