Scale
- 1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained

Drain the tuna and place it in a mixing bowl. Chop the celery, red onion, and fresh herbs.
Add the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt (if using), Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
Gently mix in the drained tuna, chopped celery, and red onion. Stir until evenly coated.
