Mediterranean Tuna Antipasto Salad Food

10-MIN MEDITERRANEAN TUNA SALAD (BOLD & HEALTHY)

10-Min Mediterranean Tuna Salad (Bold & Healthy) image

Healthy tuna salad without mayo, prepared the Mediterranean way with lots of crunchy vegetables, fresh herbs, and a zesty Dijon dressing! I like using wild-caught Albacore or Yellowfin tuna, and I tend to choose tuna packed in water. To change up this easy tuna salad, add some chopped pink pickles, diced carrots, chopped bell peppers, or different fresh herbs. Serve healthy tuna salad in a pita sandwich, in lettuce wraps, or as an appetizer over sweet roasted tomatoes.

Zest of 1 lime
1 1/2 limes, (juice of)
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp sumac
Pinch of kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, (optional)
3 cans tuna, (5 ounces each (use quality tuna of your choice))
2 1/2 celery stalks, (chopped)
1/2 English cucumber, (chopped)
4-5 radishes, (stems removed, chopped)
3 green onions, (both white and green parts, chopped)
1/2 medium red onion, (finely chopped)
1/2 cup cup pitted Kalamata olives, (halved)
1 bunch parsley, (stems removed, chopped (about 1 cup chopped fresh parsley))
10-15 fresh mint leaves, (stems removed, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint))

Steps:

To make the zesty mustard vinaigrette, in a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, lime zest, and lime juice. Add the olive oil, sumac, salt and pepper, and crushed pepper flakes (if using), and whisk again until well-blended. Set aside briefly.
To make the tuna salad, in a large salad bowl, combine the tuna with the chopped vegetables, Kalamata olives, chopped fresh parsley and mint leaves. Mix gently with a wooden spoon.
Pour the dressing over the tuna salad. Mix again to make sure the tuna salad is evenly coated with the dressing. Cover and refrigerate for half an hour before serving. When ready to serve, toss the salad gently to refresh.

TUNA ANTIPASTO SALAD BOWL

Tuna Antipasto Salad Bowl image

When the weather gets hot, we make a big salad for supper several times a week. This part antipasto, part tuna pasta salad, is my husband's favorite. With some crusty bread, it is a meal all in itself. It is easily adaptable to your family's preferences. I sometimes add other kinds of marinated vegetables and/or strips of mozzarella cheese or provolone cheese.
