It is an ideal meal for those seeking a high-protein, clean-eating option that is satisfying, quick to assemble, and packed with zesty, herbaceous notes.
Ingredients
2 cans (5 oz each) tuna in water, drained well
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 stalks celery, finely diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Drain the cans of tuna thoroughly to remove excess liquid.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt and lemon juice until smooth.
Add the drained tuna to the yogurt mixture and use a fork to flake it to your desired consistency.
Fold in the finely diced celery, red onion, and chopped fresh dill.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir until evenly combined.
Serve immediately chilled or store in an airtight container.
Notes
Ensure all vegetables are diced into very small, uniform pieces to maintain a consistent bite. Serve in crisp lettuce cups or on a bed of fresh greens for a low-carb presentation. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
