Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (5 oz) can water-packed tuna, drained
- 1 cup low-fat or 2% cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup celery, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- A pinch of salt (optional)
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Open the tuna can and drain the water thoroughly using the lid or a fine-mesh strainer. Transfer the tuna to a medium-sized mixing bowl and use a fork to flake it into small, even pieces.
- Add the cottage cheese and Dijon mustard to the bowl with the tuna. Stir well until the tuna is evenly coated and the mixture begins to look creamy and well-combined.
- Stir in the finely diced celery, minced red onion, and your choice of fresh herbs. These ingredients provide the essential crunch and aromatics that balance the soft texture of the cottage cheese.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors. Season with black pepper and a pinch of salt if needed. Give it one final toss to ensure everything is incorporated.
