Take a moment and reimagine your usual tuna salad with a zippy twist that's sure to brighten up any lunch spread. Picture this: tangy lemon zest meets a whisper of Dijon mustard, enveloping chunks of tender tuna. We toss in some crunchy celery and spicy red onion for an extra pop of texture and flavor. It’s the kind of dish that holds its own proudly atop a crisp bed of greens or snuggled between two slices of bread for those moments when you need something filling but fast. Perfect for a no-fuss meal prep or that light, lazy weekend lunch!
