- 3 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt, plain
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed

Instructions
Open and drain the canned tuna thoroughly, then transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Add the low-fat Greek yogurt, Sriracha sauce, and lime juice to the tuna and mix well until evenly combined.
Fold in the chopped green onion, diced celery, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more Sriracha for extra heat or lime juice for acidity.
