- 2 tablespoons scallions, green parts finely diced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard

Instructions
- Drain the tuna cans well to avoid a watery salad.

- Combine all ingredients – drained tuna, pickles, banana peppers, celery, scallions, mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper – in a medium mixing bowl.
- Stir until everything is well combined, breaking up the tuna and coating it with the dressing.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, as some tuna brands can be saltier than others.
- Serve directly or enjoy in various ways: on toasted bagels, with crackers, wrapped in lettuce, in a sandwich, or over a fresh salad.
Notes
Make sure to drain tuna thoroughly for the best texture.
You can substitute Greek yogurt for mayo for a healthier option.
Experiment with different toppings or add-ins for customized flavors.
