Main Ingredients
  • 3 cans canned tuna packed in water (5 ounces each) Provides a creamy and protein-rich base.
  • 3 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise Adds smooth, creamy texture.
  • 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt Brings a refreshing tang, loaded with probiotics.
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery Adds crunch; about 2 stalks.
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries Infuses sweetness and chewiness.
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice Brightens up the dish.
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt Enhances natural flavors.
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper Completes the flavor profile.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Drain the cans of tuna to remove excess water.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, low-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, chopped celery, dried cranberries, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  3. Using a fork, gently mix all the ingredients until well combined.
  4. Serve the salad on whole-grain bread or atop crisp lettuce leaves.
