This is so good, and it's much lower in fat than regular tuna salad. I saw a few versions of this, but this one is a bit different. I don't use as much red onion, usually about 1/2 the amount called for, but I posted it in its original amounts.

DAPHNE OZ'S ITALIAN TUNA SALAD
Steps:
- Procedure: Combine the tuna, red onion, red bell pepper, apple, celery, scallions, garlic, green olives and flat leaf parsley and toss together in a large bowl. Combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl and pour over the tuna and vegetable mixture, and toss until just combined. Serve on bed of lettuce or on whole grain bread.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality tuna: Opt for tuna that is sustainably sourced and packed in water or olive oil. Avoid tuna packed in vegetable oil, as it may contain unhealthy fats.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just celery and onion. Try adding other vegetables such as chopped bell peppers, shredded carrots, or diced cucumbers for added crunch and flavor.
- Don't overmix the salad: Mix the salad gently to avoid breaking up the tuna. Overmixing can also make the salad watery.
- Season to taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, or pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately or chill: Italian tuna salad can be served immediately or chilled for later. If you're chilling the salad, let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.

Italian tuna salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a sandwich, salad, or appetizer. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its combination of protein-packed tuna, crisp vegetables, and flavorful dressing, Italian tuna salad is a satisfying and nutritious meal that's perfect for any occasion.
