    How to Make Zesty Mediterranean Tuna and Veggie Salad

    1. Dressing Creation

    In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Continue whisking and slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify the mixture.

    2. Flavor Infusion

    Add the minced red onion and garlic to the dressing. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    3. Salad Assembly

    To the bowl, add the flaked tuna, minced celery, chopped red bell pepper, minced kalamata olives, and minced parsley. Toss everything until the salad ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

    4. Final Seasoning

    Taste the salad and adjust the flavor with additional lemon juice and pepper if needed.
