Gluten Free Tuna Salad with Greek Yogurt

This creamy, protein-packed tuna salad gets its tang from Greek yogurt instead of a heavier mayo-based dressing, brightened with fresh lemon juice, zest, and a touch of Dijon mustard. Crisp celery, red onion, and parsley add crunch and freshness in every bite, while a pinch of turmeric lends warm color and earthy depth. It comes together in minutes with just one bowl and a fork — no cooking required. Pile it over crisp leafy greens or scoop it into lettuce cups for a satisfying, no-fuss lunch. It's a naturally easy pick for a gluten free kitchen, ready to make ahead and enjoy over the next couple of days.
