This Tuscan tuna salad is light and healthy, layered with fresh Italian flavors, and great for a meal prep salad high in protein! Watch the video below to see how I make this in my kitchen.

Tuscan Tuna Salad

tuna

white beans

green olives (sliced)

sundried tomatoes (finely diced)

red pepper

red onion

½ English cucumber (small diced)

capers (drained)

parsley

basil

olive oil

lemon (juiced (about 1 ½ tablespoons))

salt black pepper (to taste)

feta cheese

Add the first set of ingredients. In a large bowl, add the tuna, white beans, green olives, sundried tomatoes, roasted red pepper, red onion, cucumber, capers, parsley, and basil.

Add the finishing touches. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine. Then top with optional crumbled feta cheese.

We have made this salad more times than I can count and I can almost make it by memory now. It's just that great. It is the best tuna salad I've ever made. Thank you, Lisa!

I just made this for a second time, subbing salmon for the tuna. It's absolutely delicious and perfect for meal prep!

This is fantastic!  Second day in a row eating!

This recipe was everything I needed it to be, and more! WOW! The combination of flavors is so fresh and satisfying. I didn’t have feta so I opted for grated Parmesan - amazing! This will be a regularly occurring lunch for me. So happy I have leftovers for tomorrow!

I love adding canned beans to canned fish salads n a lemon vinaigrette.    When my daughter went to college, she was shocked to discover that not everyone put chickpeas in their tuna salads and that it was usually drowned in mayo!

A variation I like uses canned salmon with red kidney beans,.  The colors are beautiful and salmon has less mercury risk than albacore tuna.

Hi! The nutrition section states that this salad has 323 calories per serving, is this on its own without crackers? Thank you!

Lisa,  Thanks for this great salad recipe.  It deserves more stars due its menu versatility and  potential variations... optionability ?   I used your lemon vinaigrette which was amazing!
I decided to add pan seared shrimp with the tuna and I thought it went well together, served over chopped romaine.    Also liked your multi grain cracker idea but had none in the pantry so I made crostini on the Cuisinart grill brushing with the vinaigrette and finishing with sea salt.
Fantastic meal!
By the way, I really can't spell vinaigrette, without spell check.

This Tuscan tuna salad has become a staple in my meal prep salad routine. It’s light and healthy, layered with fresh Italian flavors, and made in just 15 minutes!

One thing I love about tinned fish is how well it presents itself in a classic tuna salad. But since many of you have been asking for a no-mayo option, here it is — an exciting riff with lots of bright and fresh Tuscan flavor. From briny olives to sun-dried tomatoes to an abundance of herbs and lemon juice, it’s an easy salad recipe I know you’ll make often, especially since you all love my creamy Tuscan chicken. Canned tuna fish wins again!
