This salad is quintessential Mediterranean Diet: simple, clean, fresh, healthy, and tasty. It takes almost no time at all to make, with just a few ingredients tossed with basil leaves, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. A light dressing is the perfect way to celebrate these great Mediterranean flavors.
1 medium red onion
4 tomatoes
1 can tuna or mackerel
Basil leaves, torn (as many as you wish)
Juice of 1 lemon
Equal amount extra virgin olive oil (to match juice of 1 lemon)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons capers, preferably capers preserved in salt (optional)
