Description
A bright and fresh tuna salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and feta, ready in just 10 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can tuna, drained
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cucumber, diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Open and drain the tuna. Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes. Dice the cucumber and finely chop the red onion. Pit and slice the Kalamata olives if needed, and crumble the feta. Gather the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and parsley.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese. Break the tuna into bite-sized pieces with a fork so it mixes evenly.
- No cooking is required. Instead, drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the salad so the dressing coats the ingredients and brings out the fresh aromas.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss everything together until well mixed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Chill the salad for 10–15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld. For extra creaminess, add a spoonful of plain yogurt or a small amount of mayonnaise.
