Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your delightful ingredients for the Mediterranean Tuna Salad. Drain one can of white albacore tuna packed in olive oil, and set it aside. Chop half an English cucumber, finely dice a small red onion, slice your preferred olives, and drain a jar of roasted red peppers. Prepare the fresh herbs by roughly chopping dill and parsley for a burst of flavor.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the drained tuna, chopped cucumber, diced red onion, sliced olives, and roasted red peppers. Next, incorporate a tablespoon of capers along with the fresh herbs—dill and parsley.
- Squeeze in one tablespoon plus one teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, and add one or two cloves of minced garlic, depending on your preference. Follow this with a sprinkle of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Using a spatula or large spoon, gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is well combined.
- After combining, take a quick taste of your Mediterranean Tuna Salad. Adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or pepper if needed.
- Your Mediterranean Tuna Salad can be served immediately, either chilled or at room temperature. For a delightful presentation, serve it atop whole-grain toast, wrapped within lettuce leaves, or alongside mixed greens.
