Recipe: Tuna, Tomato, Cucumber Salad
Summary: Garden fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, along with canned tuna in olive oil, make this an easy late-summer supper salad.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (or more, to your liking)
[1]2 Persian cucumbers (or 1 large cucumber)- 1 (5-ounce) can Bumble Bee® Prime Fillet® Solid Light Tuna – Tonno in Olive Oil (or your favorite oil-packed tuna)
- 1 Meyer lemon
- A grind or two of black peppercorns
- Baby arugula or your favorite salad greens
Instructions
[2]Wash, dry and remove stems from tomatoes. Cut in half and add tomatoes to a mixing bowl. Wash, dry, peel (if you like) and seed cucumbers. Chop and add to the tomatoes.- Add tuna and its oil to the mixing bowl, squeeze a bit of lemon juice over all, a grind or two of black pepper, and mix gently so the tuna remains in large-ish chunks. You don’t want it mashed as it would be for a tuna salad sandwich. Taste for seasoning, add more lemon juice, even a splash more olive oil if you feel you need it, and a pinch of salt if the tuna isn’t salty enough for you. Your choice, to your taste.
- Place arugula or other salad greens in wide, flat bowls, top with tuna-tomato-cuke mixture and serve.
- Serves 2. May easily be doubled.
