Healthy Tuna Salad
Ingredients:

- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
- 1/2 stalk celery, minced
- 1 finely chopped scallion - green part only (optional)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, or more to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil to taste (1 - 2 tbsp)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Pour the tuna in a small mixing bowl. Use a fork to break the tuna chunks into very small pieces.
- Add the basil, celery, scallions and lemon juice to the bowl. Use the fork to stir all the ingredients together till well mixed.
- Add extra virgin olive oil to moisten the tuna to your liking. Season with salt and pepper to taste; sea salt and freshly ground pepper is best.
