• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt, or to taste

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the cans of tuna to reduce sodium content, then transfer the tuna to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Using a fork, mash the avocado slightly, then mix it thoroughly with the tuna until well combined.

Step 4

Add the non-fat Greek yogurt and lemon juice to the tuna and avocado mixture, stirring until the mixture is creamy and well incorporated.

Step 5

Finely dice the celery stalks and red onion, and chop the fresh dill. Add them all to the bowl.

Step 6

Season the mixture with black pepper and salt. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Serve the tuna mayonnaise immediately on slices of whole grain bread or over a bed of salad greens.

Step 8

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, but consume as soon as possible for best freshness and flavor.
