Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna in water, drained well
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place the drained tuna in a medium bowl. Use a fork to break the tuna into small flakes.
- Add the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, celery, red onion, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and salt to the bowl.
- Mix all ingredients together until the dip is smooth and well combined. You can use a hand mixer for a creamier texture, or mix by hand.
- Taste the dip and adjust seasonings if needed.
- Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
- Serve cold with your favorite crackers, vegetable sticks, or pita chips.
Notes
- For the best flavor, make this dip up to 24 hours in advance.
- If you prefer a tangier dip, substitute sour cream for the Greek yogurt.
- Drain the tuna very well to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
