Ingredients
- 2 multigrain crispbread crackers, such as

- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Top crackers with cream cheese, tuna and scallion. Squeeze lemon over the top and season with pepper.
- Note: Chunk light tuna, which comes from the smaller skipjack or yellowfin, has less mercury than canned white albacore tuna.
