Healthy Tuna Salad

Ingredients:

  • 5 ounces olive oil packed tuna, drained (if you're watching your fat intake, use water-packed tuna)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
  • 1/2 stalk celery, minced
  • 1 finely chopped scallion - green part only (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, or more to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil to taste (1 - 2 tbsp)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Pour the tuna in a small mixing bowl. Use a fork to break the tuna chunks into very small pieces.
  2. Add the basil, celery, scallions and lemon juice to the bowl. Use the fork to stir all the ingredients together till well mixed.
  3. Add extra virgin olive oil to moisten the tuna to your liking. Season with salt and pepper to taste; sea salt and freshly ground pepper is best.
