Notes
- Make sure you drain the tuna well before adding the other ingredients to it, otherwise the dip will be too watery, and the cream cheese won't bind the ingredients well anymore.
- Also, depending on the type of cream cheese you use, if it's a bit watery, make sure you drain that too, for the same reasons listed above.
