Instructions

Prepare the Salad Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, diced cucumbers, diced celery, and finely chopped red onion. Mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly without breaking up the tuna too much.
Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy with a balanced tangy flavor.
Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the tuna and vegetable mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Add Fresh Herbs: Fold in the chopped fresh dill or parsley to infuse the salad with a fresh, aromatic flavor that complements the other ingredients.
Chill Before Serving: Cover the salad and refrigerate it for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill, enhancing its refreshing taste and texture.

Notes

Serve over fresh lettuce leaves or in wraps for a complete meal.
Add diced avocado to introduce healthy fats and creaminess.
This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, making it great for meal prep.
Adjust the seasoning with extra lemon juice or mustard according to taste preferences.
