Mediterranean Tuna Salad

A great way to serve this salad is to slice a 9-inch round focaccia in half horizontally, fill it with the tuna, and press a plate down on top of the round bread. Place a heavy can or weight on top for an hour, and the dressing will seep into the bread. Slice and serve.

  • 3/4 Cups sliced Greek olives
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 Cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/4 Cup chopped basil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 Teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 Cup mayonnaise

Mediterranean Shopping Tip

As an alternative to sugary, salty, processed foods, try shopping for fruits and vegetables that are in season.

Mediterranean Cooking Tip

For a healthier alternative, substitute honey or molasses for sugar in baking recipes, and use a 3:1 blend of canola oil to olive oil instead of butter when cooking over the flame.
