This Mediterranean Tuna Salad is healthy, tasty, and packs in so much flavor! The Greek strain in this salad comes from using roasted red Florina peppers, lots of fresh herbs, and Santorini capers. Typically served as a meze, it is perfect for parties and a delicious way to include fresh veggies and herbs on your summer cookout menu.
With a little bit of prep work, you can whip up this salad in no time. Once your veggies and herbs are washed and chopped, add them to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, season with salt and fresh black pepper, and then toss to coat. Drain the tuna very well and add it to the bowl, along with thyme and capers. Gently toss and serve right away. Enjoy!
