I used to have a neighbor who was Lebanese and she would put lemon in everything. But she never made tuna salad, she thought of it as "American" food. This is a wonderful idea! I love the fact that there is no mayonnaise in here, it makes the salad that much more special. I used half parsley and half coriander leaves, served the salad on toasted whole-grain bread with some mint tea on the side. Yum!
