The weather has been too hot to cook and ones imagination is put to work taking old standards and putting a twist on them; I give you Italian Style Tuna Salad.
Ingredients:
2 (5 oz.) cans of solid white tuna – drained and shredded with a fork
1 tsp. capers – plus 1 tsp. caper juice
4 leafy stalks of celery – chopped
¼ red onion – chopped
4 baby carrots – chopped
½ cup chopped black olives
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. black pepper
Dressing:
3 tablespoons vinegar
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tsp. sugar
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
Combine the tuna and all of the ingredients in a bowl. Mix the dressing and add.
Toss and chill.
Serve on a bed of your favorite greens.
Enjoy with Love,
Catherine

My husband loves olives, this is quite the take on tuna salad. I am going to try this and stuff tomatoes with it.

When we were kids we always had out tuna salad like this, Catherine. I never knew people put mayonnaise in it until I was a teenager! I can't remember but did they call it something like tonnato? Or was it tuna put out by Progresso? Hmmm...it's been a long time:)
Thank you so much for sharing...

I love tuna salad but rarely deviate from my standard recipe. I may need to give this a try!
Cindy Eikenberg, Little Miss Celebration says
Hi Catherine - I always tend to make my tuna the same old way and love your way to change this up and especially, that it's Italian style! It looks just delicious and yes, it is too hot to cook (but not to eat!) Thanks, as always for sharing your wonderful recipes with us. Hope you are having a great week!

Love a different way to make tuna. Normally, I just make tuna the old-fashioned way, but this is way more interesting. Love your header!
