Mediterranean Tuna and Orzo Salad
Flaky canned tuna tossed with tender orzo and crisp Mediterranean vegetables in a bright, zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
8 ounce canned tuna
0.5 cup cooked orzo
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup English cucumber
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
5 whole Kalamata olives
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Cook the orzo in boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Drain the canned tuna well and flake it into a large bowl with a fork to maintain some texture.
Add the cooled orzo, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, and sliced olives to the bowl.
Whisk the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano in a small bowl until emulsified.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to ensure every ingredient is well-coated.
Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving for a burst of herbal freshness.
