- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Open the canned albacore tuna and drain the water completely. Use a fork to flake the tuna into a mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the mayonnaise and dijon mustard to the bowl with the tuna and mix until well combined, ensuring the tuna is coated evenly.
Step 3
Carefully fold in the finely chopped celery stalks, red onion, and capers until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 4
Add the lemon juice and chopped fresh dill to the tuna mixture, and stir gently to combine.
Step 5
Season the salad with salt and black pepper, and mix well. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Step 6
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the tuna salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, although it can be served immediately if time is limited.
Step 7
Before serving, prepare a bed of mixed greens on individual plates or a serving platter.
Step 8
Spoon the soy-free tuna salad onto the greens and serve immediately.
