Notes
- I typically use Greek Yogurt instead of mayonnaise, but it does lend a little bit of a tangy taste. Mayo is definitely more mild and allow the tuna to shine.
- I find with the spices and the tang of the Greek yogurt, I don't need much (if any salt), but if you're using mayonnaise, you may want to add some!
