For a vegetarian version, omit the tuna and add 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese or diced avocado for extra creaminess. Feel free to experiment with other herbs such as parsley or dill to customize the flavor profile. Add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. This salad is excellent served on its own, as a sandwich filling, or over a bed of greens.
