- This recipe is a nod to my friend Ismene.
- When we were in 3rd grade, and both living in Greece, her family invited me to their summer home for a week.
- Her mom and sister made a similar type of tuna salad for lunch one day.
- It was the first time I had ever had a non-mayo version.
- To my surprise, I actually enjoyed it, and have loved the non-mayo version ever since!
- Drain tuna.
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve cold, and enjoy!
- Note that you can also add around 1/4 cup of pitted Kalamata olives if you like.
- I didnt have any on hand when I whipped this up, but I have had them in here before and they are delish!
- This is also great served on top of a nice slice of crusty artisan bread or on top of a bed of greens.
