Make dressing and combine
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (if using), lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth. Pour the dressing over the tuna and mix gently but thoroughly with a fork or spatula until evenly combined. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.

Chill (optional)
For best flavor melding, cover the bowl and refrigerate the tuna salad for 20–30 minutes. If serving immediately, you can skip this step.
To Serve

If using bread or bagels, toast or lightly butter and toast as desired. Arrange greens on plates or in bowls. Spoon tuna salad onto bread, crostini, or a bed of mixed greens. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley, extra cracked pepper, and lemon wedges on the side. Serve chilled or at cool room temperature.
