Tuna Salad with Capers
Tuna Salad with Capers is tasty, healthy and easy to make! This tuna salad has tomatoes, onions, capers, olives and extra virgin olive oil.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces canned tuna in water, drained - I used two 4 ounce cans.
- 3 tablespoons yellow onion or red onion, minced
- ⅓ cup cherry tomatoes, cut into fourths
- 1 tablespoon capers, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon kalamata olives, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt and pepper - You don’t need too much salt because capers and olives are salty.
Instructions
- First, add the drained tuna to a bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna.
- Place the other ingredients into the bowl and combine.
- Serve the salad as you would like! Serve the tuna salad on bread, with crackers or over a bed of greens. I served mine over a toasted piece of sourdough with some arugula. I also added an extra drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and cracked black pepper.
