- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
- Drain the tuna thoroughly to ensure your salad stays creamy rather than watery. Place the tuna in a medium mixing bowl and flake it with a fork.
- Add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the bowl. Stir until the tuna is well-coated and the base is creamy.
- Fold in the diced celery, red onion, and fresh dill. Mix until the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the salad.
- Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of hemp hearts if using. Give it one final toss and serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
