FAQS

    Yes, you can substitute Greek yogurt with plain yogurt, but it may result in a slightly thinner consistency.

    It's best to enjoy this salad fresh, but you can prepare it a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Add the lemon juice just before serving.

  3. What can I use instead of tuna?

    You can replace tuna with cooked shredded chicken or chickpeas for a vegetarian option.

  4. Can I add other vegetables?

    Absolutely! Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, celery, or red onions for extra flavor and crunch.

  5. Is this salad suitable for meal prep?
