Really delicious, fresh, and colorful, the tuna and cherry tomato salad is a great summer recipe. I also propose it as a main dish, to be accompanied by nice slices of toasted bread or croutons. This is, in fact, a simple yet very hearty and nutritious recipe.
To prepare this delight, you need to use good tuna (either natural or in oil but drained), yellow and red cherry tomatoes, a nice sprinkle of oregano, lots of fresh basil leaves, and celery to add crunchiness to the dish. Everything is seasoned with a little extra virgin olive oil. All genuine, fresh, and seasonal ingredients, what more could you want!
