Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 medium Bell pepper (preferably yellow or red)
- 50 grams Kalamata olives
- 150 grams Canned tuna in olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel and thinly slice the cucumber. Add the slices to the bowl.
Peel the red onion, slice it thinly, and add it to the bowl.
Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Add these to the bowl as well.
Drain the Kalamata olives and slice them in half if desired. Add them to the bowl.
Open the can of tuna, drain any excess oil, and flake it into chunks. Add these to the salad bowl.
Rinse the capers under cold water to remove excess salt, then add them to the mixture.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, being careful not to break up the tuna too much.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately as a standalone dish or alongside some crusty Italian bread. Enjoy!
