Oh boy this is really good! It's very different than your traditional tuna salad. There's no mayo in this version. Although mayo is on my list of favorite condiments, I really don't miss it here.
The ingredients:
2 cans Albacore water packed tuna
3 large celery stalks, sliced
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 purple onion, chopped
3 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp ground oregano
1 tsp dried basil leaves
1 1/2 tsp crushed garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
about 8-10 minced black olives
Empty two cans of water packed Albacore tuna into a medium size bowl, set aside. In a separate measuring cup, mix 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 1 tsp ground oregano, 1 tsp dried basil leaves, 1 & 1/2 tsp crushed garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, mix with a fork until well combined. Pour this dressing into tuna and stir just enough to distribute evenly over the tuna.
Slice 3 stalks of celery, chop 1 green bell pepper, chop 1 purple onion, chop 3 Roma tomatoes. Put these into the tuna mixture along with the minced black olives and stir just enough to distribute vegetables evenly through the tuna.
Serve this tuna salad by itself on a bed of greens or with some rustic Italian bread!
