Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium bowl, gently flake the drained tuna with a fork, being careful not to over-shred it. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the hummus, chopped olives, and dried oregano to the flaked tuna. (1 minute)

03

Step

Season generously with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt, adjusting to your preference. (30 seconds)

04

Step

Gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the tuna is evenly coated with the hummus mixture. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for developing the best taste. (30 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of red pepper flakes.
Serve this tuna salad in pita pockets with crisp cucumber and tomato slices, or on your favorite bread with a bed of fresh spinach.
To elevate the presentation, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil before serving.
Feel free to experiment with different types of olives, such as green olives or a mixed olive medley, to create your own unique variation.
If you don't have hummus on hand, you can substitute with Greek yogurt for a similar creamy texture, although the flavor profile will be slightly different.
