How to Make Tuna Surprise

  1. Combine mayonnaise, celery, red onion, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Mix well.
  2. Add tuna, dill, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the tuna mushy.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lemon juice for extra zing or mayonnaise for creaminess.
  4. Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. This step is crucial for the best taste!
  5. Serve on your favorite bread, crackers, or lettuce cups. Enjoy!
