Simply Classic Tuna Salad

Greek yogurt is often used to replace mayonnaise, but too much can leave a noticeable tang. In this recipe, a higher proportion of light mayonnaise preserves the classic flavor and texture, while a smaller amount of fat-free Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess. Combined with Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and dill, the result is a tuna salad that feels lighter without tasting different than the classic.
