- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Open the canned tuna and drain any excess liquid. Transfer the tuna to a medium-sized mixing bowl and flake it apart using a fork.
Add the mayonnaise and dijon mustard to the bowl, and mix until the tuna is well coated.
Stir in the finely chopped celery, red onion, and pickle relish until evenly distributed.
Add the lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients into a cohesive spread.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed (e.g., more salt, pepper, or lemon juice).
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the tuna salad to an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the tuna salad as a spread on bread, in a sandwich, with crackers, or on a bed of lettuce. Enjoy your Weekend Tuna Salad Spread!
