Ingredients

  • 2 5 oz cans white albacore tuna packed in olive oil (if using tuna packed in water, you’ll want to add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the salad)
  • ¼ cup sliced olives (green, Kalamata, or your favorite variety)
  • ¼ cup roasted red peppers drained and chopped
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup English cucumber seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons capers drained
  • 3 tablespoons fresh dill roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1-2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and toss to combine. Taste, and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve on toast, pita bread, over lettuces, or in lettuce cups.

Notes

Add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil if using tuna packed in water.
If you like garlic as I do, add an extra clove.
If adding Greek yogurt, do 2-3 tablespoons.
