Mediterranean Tuna Salad
This tuna salad is so simple yet so full of flavor! Tuna provides great protein while celery, bell pepper, and red onion provide fiber and vitamins and minerals, and the olives and olive oil provide healthy fats.

- 3/4 cup celery finely sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper diced

Dressing
- zest of half a lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
