Mediterranean Tuna & Olive Spread

1. Blend Ingredients

Place the extra-virgin olive oil, tuna, mayonnaise, basil leaves, capers, lemon juice, anchovies (if using), and garlic into a blender. Blend until smooth to achieve a mousse-like consistency.

2. Incorporate Olives

Stir the chopped Kalamata olives into the blended mixture using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the spread.

3. Garnish and Season

Transfer the spread to a shallow bowl. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and a touch of lemon juice, then garnish with additional basil leaves. Season with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
