I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It worked out great!

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I thought this recipe was delicious. The vegetables and herbs really balanced out the flavor of the tuna.

The recipe was easy to follow, but it took longer than I expected to make. I think it's because I had to chop all the vegetables by hand.
