Zia Maria's Tuna, Egg and Tomato Salad
A fresh and protein packed summer that can be a great main course or lunch option. Fabulous for lunch boxes, too.
Ingredients
- 5 oz tuna (canned, albacore or any good quality, in water or olive oil)
- 1 tomato (organic)
- 2 free range eggs (hardboiled, cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp red wine vinegar (I use at least 6% acidity)
- ½ tsp Kosher salt (or sea salt)
Instructions
- Empty the tuna into a bowl and add the hard boiled eggs.
- Cut up the tomatoes and add to the salad.
- Drizzle the olive oil and vinegar over the salad and add salt.
- Garnish with a sprig of basil, for a splash of color, if desired, and it's ready to serve with some crusty, Italian bread or rolls.
Notes
- Use high-quality, organic ingredients for the best results.
