After you've combined all the ingredients let the salad marinate 20-30 minutes before serving. I added some roasted pine nuts and chopped mint leaves (instead of basil as I didn't have any) had it with some toasted bread so very delightful.
While this salad was easy to make I found it bland and "dry". Eating Well has far better salads you should try instead. We used tuna packed in water so we'll use another fish and oil next time I guess.
I made this recipe exactly as written. It was delicious inexpensive and easy to put together. I used a high quality tuna and I felt like that made a difference. I will definitely make this again and I'd like to try it with tuna packed in oil as another reviewer mentioned.
Light and refreshing! Absolutely loved this recipe! Didn't have any tuna so I used canned wild salmon and it tasted great! It' s light and the lemon makes it refreshing! Will make again!
A quick and light dinner My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this recipe made some small changes based on what we had in the kitchen - replaced red onion with shallots tuna in olive oil (drained but added some of that oil instead of the extra-virgin olive oil in the recipe) I don't like parsley so I skipped it. I am sure I'll be making this dish again and again in the future but for the next time around will definitely double the garlic and shallots for a more intense flavor. Pros: quick healthy fulfilling
Perfect Nutritious Meal for a Hot Summer's Day Made this for a light meal on a 100 degree summer's day. It couldn't be easier and just what I was looking for with not much energy to cook and not much of an appetite due to the heat. Added 1 1/2 cups of cherry tomatoes for color. I will definitely be filing this one in my recipe collection! Pros: Quick. Easy. Cheap. Nutritious. Filling. Vegetarian. Great for a picnic or BBQ. Cons: Absolutely none!
Use good quality tuna Buy quality tuna full chunk in water or olive oil and triple the garlic or you won't even taste it. Pros: Quick and easy and great for warm weather Cons: Avoid cheap cans of tuna
Amazing! Love Love Love this recipe!!!!! Light and full of flavor great on a bed of bib lettuce drizzled with olive oil and some freshly ground black pepper and salt. Pros: healthy and delicious Cons: none
I added some tomato and feta Great light taste!
I'll be making this the next time I have white beans on hand. I've always wanted to make a lighter tuna salad to stuff in a pita and this is it! And I will probably do what the first commenter did and add feta. Feta makes everything better!
This was great. Served on one slice of sprouted bread and it made a perfect lunch.
Quick Healthy Dinner This is a great dish because it is good for you and is easy to make. I highly recommend this dish. Pros: Easy and healthy. Cons: None
