Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make canned caper and tuna salad? First of all, prepare all the necessary products according to the list. Take canned tuna in its own juice, use red onions or shallots if possible. These varieties of onions are softer than regular onions and perfectly complement vegetable salads. You can use regular tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes. It is acceptable to take lettuce or iceberg instead of lettuce.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the peeled onion and green salad leaves under running water and dry to remove excess moisture. If you have a different large-leaf salad, then tear each leaf randomly with your hands or cut it with a knife.

Step 3

Step 3
To prepare the salad, it is convenient to use a wide plate or deep salad bowl. Place a green salad on a plate.

Step 4

Step 4
Wash the tomatoes and wipe with paper napkins. Cut the tomatoes in half. If you have small cherry tomatoes, then leave some of them whole, so the finished dish will look more appetizing. If you are using regular tomatoes, first cut them in half and then cut each half into small slices or cubes. Place in a salad bowl.

Step 5

Step 5
Place canned tuna pieces on top of the tomatoes. Try to maintain the integrity of the pieces, otherwise when you stir the salad, the tuna may turn into porridge.

Step 6

Step 6
Cut the red onion into thin feathers or half rings. Cut olives partially in half. Place onions, olives and capers in a salad bowl. Their quantity can be reduced or increased to taste.

Step 7

Step 7
Salt the salad and add a little ground pepper.

Step 8

Step 8
Drizzle a little olive oil on top, sprinkle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh herbs. Parsley, dill, green onions or basil work well.
