Description

A creamy, protein-packed twist on classic tuna salad using Greek yogurt, fresh herbs, and crisp vegetables for a light and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 cans (5 oz each) albacore tuna in water, drained
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Thoroughly drain tuna and flake into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Finely chop celery, red onion, pickles, and herbs.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Add chopped vegetables and herbs to the tuna, then pour over the yogurt mixture. Stir gently until evenly combined.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust lemon or mustard for extra brightness if desired.
  6. Chill for 15–30 minutes before serving to enhance flavors.
