This is a protein rich meal or side dish.

Also, I’m not a HUGE fan of tuna without mayonnaise or sandwich spread mixed with it…too “fishy” for me.  But this didn’t leave me feeling fishy after eating it. The lemon juice, dill and other flavors made the un-mayonized tuna totally edible.  And I actually ended up kinda liking it. (Perhaps I’m turning over a new tuna leaf.)
