Ingredients

  • 2 Large Cans Tuna in water, drained well
  • 1 Cup Fresh Tomato, seeded and diced
  • 2 TBSP EACH Cilantro, Basil, Parsley, Chives
  • ½ Cup Red Pepper, diced
  • ¼ Cup Shallot, diced fine
  • ½ Cup Marinated Artichoke Hearts, chopped
  • 2-3 tablespoon Capers, rinsed
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • ½ Cup Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Fresh Cracked Pepper

Instructions

  • Break up the tuna in a large bowl.
  • Add in remaining ingredients and mix. Taste. Adjust the seasonings. Taste again.
  • Serve chilled on a fresh green salad or as a sandwich.

Notes

Rinsing the capers will reduce the briny flavor, leaving just the zippy caper.
 
If the tuna salad tastes dry after you mix everything together, add in ¼ cup more olive oil. Mix again and see if that works. Some tuna is more dry than others!
 
Not bright enough on your palate? Add more lemon! Still not bright enough? Try ¼ teaspoon of balsamic vinegar.
