Categories     Appetizer

Yield 4-8 sandwiches or apps

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 garlic clove, finely minced
Juice of half a lemon, plus more to taste
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus 4 more tablespoons if serving as dip
20 ounces canned tuna, preferably packed in olive oil, drained
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped black olives
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons minced parsley or basil
Salt to taste
Buttered toast, if serving as sandwiches
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, if serving as dip.

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, mash garlic with the back of a spoon. Whisk in the lemon juice and 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Combine with the tuna, onion, olives, capers, herbs and salt to taste. 2. Serve on buttered toast for sandwiches, or make into a dip: Pulse the tuna salad and butter in a food processor until it is creamy. With the motor of the processor running, slowly add the additional 4 tablespoons oil. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice if needed. Serve with cut vegetables (fennel and bell peppers are nice) and crackers.

Delicious! I made this for my family and they loved it. The tuna was perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was just okay. The tuna was a bit dry and the sauce was bland. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had added some additional seasoning.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover tuna, and the capers, olives, and lemon add a lot of flavor. I usually serve it over a bed of mixed greens.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. The tuna was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I served it over rice and it was a hit with my family.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but this dish was actually really good. The capers and olives added a nice briny flavor, and the lemon brightened it up. I would definitely make this again.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I loved the combination of capers, olives, and lemon. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a perfect meal.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The tuna was overcooked and the sauce was too salty. I think I'll stick to my own tuna recipe in the future.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it always turns out great. The tuna is always moist and flavorful, and the sauce is light and tangy. I love serving it over a bed of rice or pasta.

Not bad, but not great. The flavors were a bit too strong for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with fewer capers and olives.

This was a great way to use up some leftover tuna. I added a few extra ingredients, like diced tomatoes and red onion, and it turned out really well. Next time, I'll try it with grilled tuna.

Meh. I found this dish to be a bit bland. The tuna was dry and the sauce lacked flavor. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had added some additional seasoning.

Easy and delicious! I love that this recipe uses simple ingredients that I usually have on hand. The capers and olives add a nice briny flavor to the tuna, and the lemon brightens it up. I will definitely be making this again.

This tuna dish was a delightful surprise! The combination of capers, olives, and lemon created a vibrant and flavorful sauce that perfectly complemented the tender tuna. I served it over a bed of arugula and it was a hit with my family.
