Ingredients

1 cup (150g) halved grape tomatoes
1 stalk celery, diced
½ cup (50g) roughly chopped olives
½ English cucumber, chopped
2 tablespoons diced red onion
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 (5 oz) (141g) can tuna, drained
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

Place all chopped vegetables and tuna in a large bowl.
In a small bowl or mason jar, combine the oil, vinegar, oregano, and Dijon mustard, along with salt and pepper to taste. Mix or shake well to combine. Pour over the salad and toss lightly. Taste and add more salt and pepper as needed. Sometimes a nice squeeze of lemon will brighten up the flavors. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

STORAGE: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Give it a light mix before serving. Just a note: the longer it sits, the softer the vegetables will be.
