Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 six ounce can or jar of tuna, packed in oil
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1 stalk celery, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • Salt and fresh pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped herbs (basil, parsley, thyme are all good — mix them up!)

Instructions

  1. Empty the tuna (with the oil) into a mixing bowl and flake it into small pieces with two forks.
  2. Add all the other ingredients and give it a good toss.
  3. You’re done! ?

Notes

    • Tuna: You do need to use an oil-packed tuna for this recipe, because that tasty oil is an essential part of the delicious dressing!

    • Tomatoes: We like cherry tomatoes for this recipe because they are so easy to cut up and they magically hold their flavor all year long. But if you have a big juicy summer tomato, then go for it!

    • Capers: You can find these little pickled berries in the condiments section of your grocery store.
