Cook time0 min

Flaked tuna gets folded with creamy mayonnaise, crisp celery, and a bite of red onion, then brightened with lemon juice and a touch of Dijon mustard for tang. A little salt, pepper, and fresh parsley round out the flavor without any fuss. It comes together in minutes and holds beautifully in the fridge, making it an easy option for quick lunches or make-ahead meal prep. Scoop it onto crisp lettuce, pile it into a bowl with sliced avocado, or spread it over your favorite gluten free bread. This is a naturally solid choice for a gluten free kitchen, no special planning required.
