Everyone really liked this—I used less mayo and hummus, so it stayed nicely molded in a ball on the plate.

I quite enjoyed this tuna salad; definitely a step up from the usual boring varieties! The hummus was a great addition (I used lemon hummus) and I loved the saltiness from the olives (I used Kalamata). I don’t care for dry tuna salad, and this was very moist, just how I like it. The only change I made was to cut back on the oregano to 1/2 teaspoon, and that was perfect for me since I find oregano can be overpowering. I served this over lettuce leaves for a lower-carb option.
