Ingredients

• 2 5-oz cans Canned tuna (in olive oil, drained)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium Cucumber, diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Mixed greens (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add the drained tuna and use a fork to break it into bite-sized chunks.

Step 2

Add the cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the tuna.

Step 3

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the tuna and vegetable mixture. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated. Be careful not to break apart the tuna too much.

Step 5

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.

Step 6

Serve the Mediterranean tuna salad as-is, or over a bed of mixed greens for a more complete meal.

Step 7

Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Allow the salad to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
