Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, and Greek yogurt. Mix until the ingredients are well blended.

Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over the tuna mixture and stir thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 4

Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
