Easy Italian Tuna Corn Salad

Recipe Description

Easy Italian Tuna Corn Salad is a refreshing yet satisfying salad. It is packed with ripe cherry tomatoes, tuna, corn, celery, and fresh mozzarella. I like to serve this salad drizzled with a simple dressing. This dressing is a mix of good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar flavored with oregano and fresh basil. Just a few simple ingredients provide outstanding flavor and taste when put together. The perfect summertime tuna salad!

Tuna is very high in protein, packed with omega-3 fatty acids, inexpensive, and makes for some of the easiest weekday meals. And the recipe for this corn and tuna salad is quite easy too. It takes a few minutes to combine all of the salad ingredients and to whip up a dressing. This salad is also a great make-ahead dish. In fact, the salad will taste even better if you leave it to marinate and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and marry. Enjoy!

To make the Easy Italian Tuna Corn Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
