For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the sour cream and mayonnaise mixture. If using tuna packed in oil, consider reducing the amount of mayonnaise to prevent the salad from becoming too greasy. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill for a pop of color and freshness. Feel free to add other vegetables like chopped bell peppers or peas for added texture and nutrients.
