A delightful and healthy tuna salad recipe with a Mediterranean twist, perfect for a quick and nutritious meal.
Drain the canned tuna and place it in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the tuna is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the salad.
Add the diced red bell pepper, finely chopped onion, fresh parsley, and basil leaves to the bowl.
Chop the vegetables into small, even pieces for a uniform texture.
Mix in the drained capers.
Capers add a tangy flavor; adjust the quantity to taste.
Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the mixture, then season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.
Be gentle while mixing to keep the tuna chunks intact.
Serve the salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving.
Serve with a side of crusty bread or fresh greens for a complete meal.
