Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest, finely grated
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 2 cans (5oz each) solid white albacore tuna in water, drained well
  • 1/2 cup English cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, very finely minced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, minced
  • 4 cups mixed baby greens or arugula

Instructions:

  1. In a small glass jar, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds to create a stable emulsion.
  2. Place the drained albacore tuna in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna into bite-sized chunks. Pour half of the lemon herb dressing over the tuna and toss gently; let it rest for 2 minutes to infuse.
  3. Add the diced cucumber, minced red onion, celery, parsley, and dill to the tuna mixture. Toss to combine. Serve immediately over a bed of mixed baby greens and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
