This Classic Lemon Dill Tuna Salad is a simple, go-to recipe that elevates basic tuna with bright, fresh flavors. Canned tuna (drained well) is mixed with mayonnaise for a creamy base, then invigorated with plenty of fresh dill, sharp lemon juice, and finely chopped celery for crunch. This Fish dish is naturally high in protein and healthy fats (omega-3s), making it an easy, no-cook option perfect for sandwiches, lettuce wraps, or serving on top of a salad.
