Mediterranean Tuna and Orzo Salad
Tossed salad featuring flaky canned tuna, tender orzo pasta, crisp cucumbers, and vibrant cherry tomatoes in a bright, zesty lemon-herb dressing.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz canned tuna
0.5 cup cooked orzo
1 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup cucumber
0.25 cup red onion
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp kalamata olives
PREPARATION
Cook the orzo in boiling water until al dente, drain, and rinse under cold water to cool completely.
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and flake it into a large mixing bowl using a fork.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and finely chop the red onion.
Add the cooled orzo, prepared vegetables, and sliced kalamata olives to the bowl with the tuna.
In a small jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper until well emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad, toss gently to coat all ingredients, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
