Instructions
Start by draining the canned tuna thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Transfer the tuna to a large mixing bowl and flake it apart using a fork.
Add mayonnaise and Greek yogurt to the bowl. Stir well to combine, creating a creamy base.
Fold in the diced celery, red onion, pickle relish, and chopped parsley. Mix evenly for crunch and flavor in every bite.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour this tangy dressing over the tuna mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Taste the tuna salad, and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
For serving, spoon the tuna salad onto lettuce leaves, bread slices, or crackers as desired.
Optionally, garnish with cherry tomato halves for a pop of color and freshness.
