from - PSA: Roasted tinned tuna is a MUST TRY. 👋
I need you to understand that this is serious. Guys, and I mean s e r i o u s. Roasting tinned tuna is LIFE-CHANGING! 🤯
My TUSCAN TUNA SALAD is a little bit sexy, a little bit salty. It’s a Spring/Summer salad that will take you to another place. 🤤 Hopefully the Maldives 🤣🤣🤣.
Soooooo let’s talk about the star of the show... ⭐️ Tina TUNA ⭐️ (pun intended)!
I love using mini fillets for this recipe. Roasting the larger, flaky tinned pieces works too, this salad is so delicious that any good quality tuna will do!
Serves 2 - 3
2 tins tuna in olive oil
2 vine tomatoes, diced
1 romano red pepper, diced
10 olives, pitted and halved
1 tbsp capers, chopped
2 tbsp mix of fresh mint, chives, basil, parsley
1 - 2 anchovies, finely chopped
1/3 cup chargrilled artichokes, chopped
1/3 large cucumber, diced
Optional 1 avocado, diced
2 hard boiled eggs, diced
DRESSING
3 tbsp EVOO
1 tsp dijon
1/2 tsp red vine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 200C / 180 fan. Roughly flake tuna into a baking dish and add about half the olive oil from the tin. Toast for 20 - 25 mins until crispy to your liking.
Mix dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.
Add tomato, pepper, olives, capers, herbs, anchovies, artichokes, cucumber, plus optional avocado and egg to a mixing bowl. Add dressing and toss to combine. Top with tuna and its oil. YUM!
