Ingredients

  • 2 x 185g cans (or 5oz in USA) tuna, drained
  • ¼ cup (65g) Greek Yogurt
  • 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise, optional
  • 1 small spring onion (green onion), finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt *do not add if making for a baby

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and mix until combined. 
  • Serve with raw veggies, crackers or toast (see above post for serving suggestions)

Notes

Tuna can sizes vary by country. In the US, a standard can is 5oz(142g). In Australia and some other countries, cans are often slightly larger. If your tuna salad seems dry, add extra greek yogurt 1 tablespoon at a time. Taste and adjust.
