TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON
This is not your mother's mayonnaise-laden tuna salad, but it's just as easy to prepare. Here's what you do: stir together some canned tuna, garlic, lemon juice, red onion, black olives, capers and fresh parsley, then spread it on buttered toast. Top it off with a round of ripe tomato or slivers of avocado and another slice of toast. That's it. If you want to make it into a dip, toss the mixture into a food processor with a few tablespoons of softened butter and a bit more olive oil. Purée until smooth and creamy and serve with carrots, fennel, bell pepper and seeded crackers. If you have a tin of sardines taunting you from inside your cabinet, we bet this recipe would work equally well with those.

Tips:
- Choose the right tuna: Opt for canned tuna packed in water or olive oil. Avoid tuna packed in oil, as it contains unnecessary fats and calories.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will add flavor and texture to your tuna salad. Choose ripe tomatoes, crisp celery, and sweet bell peppers.
- Don't overmix: Mix the ingredients gently to avoid breaking up the tuna and making the salad mushy.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
- Chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
- Serve on a bed of lettuce or crackers: This will add extra texture and flavor to your meal.
