This Greek-inspired tuna salad is my go-to when I need a quick, protein-packed lunch that’s bursting with flavor. While classic tuna salad can sometimes taste bland, this version is anything but—thanks to fresh herbs, crunchy veggies, and a tangy yogurt dressing.
The secret? A creamy, herb-infused dressing made with Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, fresh dill (or dried, in a pinch), lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. I prefer full-fat yogurt for its rich texture, but 2% works too.
For the perfect balance of crunch and freshness, I add celery, cucumber, and red onion—though I know some folks skip the celery (sacrilege, in my opinion!). The result is a light yet satisfying salad that’s delicious on sandwiches, stuffed in pita, or served over greens.
