Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and chopped dill or parsley until the dressing is well combined.
Add the thoroughly drained tuna to the bowl, breaking it up slightly with a fork.
Stir in the finely minced celery and red onion.
Gently fold all ingredients together until everything is evenly mixed and coated with the dressing.
You can serve this healthy tuna salad immediately, or for enhanced flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Enjoy on its own, with lettuce wraps, in a sandwich, or as a topping for green salads.

Notes

For best flavor, allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
This recipe is versatile and can be adjusted with additional herbs or vegetables as desired.
Ensure tuna is well-drained to avoid a watery texture.
