Mediterranean Tuna Salad

Based on the Mediterranean tuna salad from L’Appetito’s Deli in the ALA HQ building in Chicago. Ingredients are approximate. Best made a day ahead to allow flavor to develop.

  • 2 cans Genovo tuna in olive oil, drained a bit
  • 1/4 c. finely chopped red onion
  • 3 Tbs. capers, rinsed and drained
  • 1 jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
  • 12 Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 10-12 sun-dried tomato halves, chopped (use the ones from Nature’s Best – soft and chewy, like dried apricots, with no oil)
  • 2 Tbs. fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Fresh-squeezed lemon juice, to taste
  • Olive oil, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
