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.

This dish is not very kid-friendly. The capers and olives are too salty for most kids.

I'm not a fan of capers, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious.
