Fresh & Flavorful Tuna Salad

Ingredients

• 2 can Canned Tuna (drained, approximately 5-6 oz each)
• 0.25 cup Red Onion (finely diced)
• 1 stalk Celery (finely chopped)
• 0.5 cup Cucumber (diced)
• 0.25 cup Greek Yogurt (plain; used as a healthy alternative to mayo)
• 1 tbsp Mayonnaise (optional for extra creaminess)
• 1 tbsp Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
• Salt (to taste)
• Black Pepper (to taste)
• 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)

Steps

1. 1

   Drain the liquid from the canned tuna and place the tuna into a medium mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Flake the tuna with a fork until it is broken into small, even pieces.

3. 3

   Add the finely diced red onion, chopped celery, and diced cucumber to the bowl with the tuna.

4. 4

   In a small separate bowl or directly into the main bowl, add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise (if using), lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.

5. 5

   Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Add the fresh chopped parsley to the bowl.

7. 7

   Stir all the ingredients together until the tuna and vegetables are thoroughly coated in the dressing.

8. 8

   Serve immediately on bread, in a wrap, or over a bed of greens.

Notes

For those who do not eat fish, cooked shredded chicken breast can be used as a substitute for the tuna. If you want to avoid yogurt, you can use all mayonnaise or a mashed avocado for a dairy-free creamy base.
