  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture and stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. For serving: Slice a round loaf of bread in half horizontally. Carefully hollow out the center, leaving about a 1/2-inch border. Spoon the tuna salad into the bread cavity.
  5. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
