Greek Tuna And Tomato Salad

 

Greek Tuna and Tomato Salad - An Oregon Cottage

This Greek style tuna and tomato salad full of kalamata olives, fresh tomatoes, tuna, garbanzo beans, feta and a red wine vinaigrette is about as easy and flavorful as you can get. And when we have heirloom tomatoes coming in from the garden this salad makes appearances on both dinner and lunch menus. It’s in a steady rotation, though, even with any old tomatoes because something this good and easy to make needs to happen regularly.

Tuna and Tomato Salad with Greek Flavors - An Oregon Cottage

When I serve this for dinner (often for company in the summer) I’ll make a loaf of easy artisan bread to go along with it and sop up all the lovely juices, which I think this makes a fine meal. It’s really fresh and filling at the same time. I’m happy to eat it as-is for lunches, too, and it makes some of the best leftovers around.

It’s also a great way to use beans you’ve cooked and frozen (you have done that, right?). And I mentioned easy? Here’s how to make this salad: cut everything up and toss it into a bowl and add the vinaigrette and set on a bed of lettuce. Yep, that’s it- you’ve gotta love recipes like this!
