⭐⭐ Two Stars – More Lemon Than a Lemonade Stand 🍋 Alright, folks, here’s the scoop on this tuna recipe: if you love your taste buds getting hit with a tsunami of citrus, this one’s for you. I mean, seriously, it’s like the recipe was written by someone who just learned about lemons and decided to go all-in. The lemon is so intense, you might start questioning your life choices... and your tolerance for sour. 🙃 Now, let’s talk texture: this dish ended up more soupy than a bowl of cereal left out in the rain. I’m guessing the sour cream + lemon juice combo was a tad overzealous. It was liquidy, to say the least. Definitely not the creamy tuna salad I was hoping for. So, yeah... even with a few tweaks, I’m not sure I’ll be coming back for round two. Maybe if the lemon’s halved and the consistency is less "swimming pool," it could be a contender, but until then, I’ll pass. Would I recommend? Eh, maybe if you’re into swimming with the lemon sharks. 🦈
