Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can can of tuna, drained
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise Choose Greek yogurt for a tangy flavor.
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Add more for extra zest if desired.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lettuce leaves for serving (optional)
  • Cherry tomatoes for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Drain the can of tuna thoroughly to remove excess liquid.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained tuna with 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt or mayonnaise.
  3. Add the diced celery and red onion to the bowl.
  4. Mix in the tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Stir everything together until well-combined, about a minute.
  6. Serve on a bed of lettuce or with cherry tomatoes as garnish.

Notes

Substitutions: Try vegan yogurt for a plant-based option or use lemon juice instead of mustard. For best results, add fresh vegetables just before serving to maintain crispness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
