Salad Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) of tuna in water, drained
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1 medium cucumber, peeled and diced
- 100g feta cheese, crumbled
Creamy Feta Dressing
- 100g feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped tomatoes, diced cucumber, and crumbled feta cheese. Gently toss to mix all ingredients evenly without breaking up the tuna too much.
- Make the Dressing: In a blender or food processor, blend the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Dress the Salad: Drizzle the creamy feta dressing over the mixed salad. Toss lightly to coat the salad ingredients evenly with the dressing.
- Serve: Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
Notes
- Use good quality canned tuna in water for the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a thicker dressing, reduce the amount of lemon juice slightly.
- To make this salad vegan, substitute tuna with chickpeas and use vegan feta and yogurt alternatives.
- Serve with crusty bread or pita for a complete meal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
