This lightened-up version of tuna salad is a snap to throw together for a quick lunch.
When DH was brewing beer yesterday, I was baking bread (including Basic French Loaf). With hungry men on my hands and no time to do anything fancy, I decided to whip up Mediterranean Tuna Salad from The Commonsense Kitchen: 500 Recipes Plus Lessons for a Hand-Crafted Life.
Ingredients:
- two 5 oz cans of tuna fish (packed in water, drained)
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- splash of lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- a few tablespoons of chopped parsley
- 2-3 Tbsp olive oil
- handful of chopped olives (I hate olives so I didn’t include them)
- few tablespoons of capers
Mix well and serve on bread or atop a bed of lettuce.
The Verdict: The boys ate it AND complimented me on the tuna salad. Of course the freshly baked bread was the perfect accompaniment.
