Instructions
Drain the low-sodium canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the plain Greek yogurt, finely chopped celery, finely chopped red onion, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, fresh dill, and black pepper to the bowl with the tuna.
Mix all ingredients until well combined, ensuring the tuna is fully coated in the mixture.
