Salad with Capers and Canned Tuna

Cooking method

1. Step 1:

   

   How do you make a salad with capers and canned tuna? First, gather all the ingredients on the list. Use canned tuna packed in its own juice, and for the onion use red onion or shallot if you can. These onion varieties are milder than regular onion and go beautifully in vegetable salads. Instead of cherry tomatoes, you can use regular tomatoes. You can use lettuce or iceberg instead of corn salad.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the peeled onion and the salad greens under running water and dry them to remove excess moisture. If you're using a different large-leaf lettuce, tear each leaf by hand into rough pieces or cut it with a knife.

3. Step 3:

   

   A wide plate or deep salad bowl is convenient for making this salad. Put the salad greens on the plate.

4. Step 4:

   

   Wash the tomatoes and wipe them with paper towels. Cut the tomatoes in half. If you have small cherry tomatoes, leave some whole - that makes the finished dish look more appetizing. If you use regular tomatoes, cut them in half first, then cut each half into small wedges or cubes. Add them to the salad bowl.

5. Step 5:

   

   Lay pieces of canned tuna on top of the tomatoes. Try to keep the pieces intact, or the tuna may turn to mush when you toss the salad later.

6. Step 6:

   

   Cut the red onion into thin slivers or half rings. Cut some of the olives in half. Add the onion, olives, and capers to the salad bowl. You can reduce or increase the amounts to taste.

7. Step 7:

   

   Salt the salad and add a little ground pepper.

8. Step 8:

   

   Drizzle a little olive oil over the top, sprinkle with the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon, and scatter on finely chopped fresh herbs. Parsley, dill, green onion, or basil all work well.

9. Step 9:

   

   Toss the salad before serving. Done!
