Ingredients

  • Tuna: 2 cans (5 oz each), sustainably sourced in water, drained (chunk or solid white albacore preferred for firmer texture)
  • Greek Yogurt: 1/3 cup plain, non-fat or 2% (offers protein and creaminess)

    • Substitute: Skyr, labneh, or dairy-free yogurt (coconut, almond) for vegan/dairy-free versions

  • Dijon Mustard: 1 tablespoon for tang and depth
  • Lemon Juice: 2 teaspoons, freshly squeezed for brightness
  • Celery: 1 stalk, finely diced, for crunch and a burst of freshness
  • Red Onion: 1/4 cup, finely diced (milder flavor can use green onions)
  • Fresh Herbs: 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or dill, for herbal notes
  • Salt and Pepper: To taste
  • Optional Add-ins: Diced cucumber, capers, chopped apples, sweetcorn, or sliced almonds for crunch and contrasting flavors
  • Creamy Swap Ideas:

    • Mashed avocado (1/2 medium) for heart-healthy fats
    • Hummus (2-3 tbsp) for a Mediterranean flair
