Creamy Tuna Salad w/ Herbs
From South Cumberland Farmer's Market
<p>While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion add zest and crunch, while Duke’s mayonnaise and a touch of Dijon mustard marry it all together.</p>Source: The Cline Family Cookbook (Entered by Lee and Jen Cline)

Step by Step Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl break up the tuna with a fork. Toss with the celery, onion and herbs. Add the mayonnaise, mustard and season with pepper, to taste. Stir to combine.
- Add lemon juice, to taste, if using. The lemon juice is optional as it’s not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.
- Serve on toast, bread or on lettuce.
