We really liked this meal, surprisingly. We omitted the pepperoncini and olives. It was very good!
0 HelpfulDoubled the dressing to save for another meal. Omitted the nuts. Served with baguette. Very good light meal and easy to pull together. The Italian tuna has so much flavor!
0 HelpfulWe enjoyed this meal. Had to sub pecans for walnuts. I used some of the leftover Greek salsa from another recipe on top as well.
0 HelpfulWe switched some of the ingredients to fit what we prefer and/or had on hand. Tuna didn't add a lot to the salad, but overall this was easy to pull together and satisfying.
0 HelpfulVery yummy. We swapped the tuna for salmon. My husband thinks it also needed hard boiled eggs to make it perfect.
