Tuna-Zucchini Cakes with Garlic Lemon Aioli

These dressed-up tuna patties are a flash in the pan! Greek yogurt, shredded vegetables and pickle relish add flavor and moisture to classic tuna patties. Serve them with a simple, but sophisticated sauce made from yogurt, lemon juice and garlic and you have a meal that’s both homey and elegant in no time flat. Greek yogurt makes the aioli lactose-intolerant friendly.
