For Dinner

As requested by my husband, I'm whipping up this delicious, fresh and healthy dinner tonight (thank you Whole Foods).  Perhaps we can snap a picture before it gets inhaled.  I'm thinking a nice raw kale salad and white wine (as yet undecided) will be just the thing to complete the meal.

Mediterranean Tuna Salad

4 (6-ounce) cans albacore tuna, drained well
1 (14-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup sliced kalamata olives
2 tablespoons finely chopped capers
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup fresh chopped basil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano 
Low-fat mayonnaise to taste (I ended up using about 1/4 cup)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Put all ingredients into a large bowl and gently fold together until well combined.  I let the flavors develop by covering the bowl and chilling in the fridge for an hour.
Slice and toast fresh bread (we're partial to Super Target's asiago cheese demi loaf).  Cover with tuna and enjoy!

  1. I'd come over for the above meal. Add a crisp, light bread perhaps. Very nice! Yum. It was nice to see you two tonight a usual.
