Greek Tuna Salad

I made a tuna salad almost entirely of foods living in my pantry and fridge door. It was so good! If you like Greek salads you can really have fun with this.


1 can of tuna packed in olive oil, excess oil poured off
1 tsp pepperoncini peppers, diced
A splash of the pepper juice from the jar.
1 tsp kalamata olives, diced
1 tsp capers, chopped 
1 diced hard boiled egg
1/2  green onion, diced
1 tbsp mayo or more to taste
Pinch of dried oregano
1 tbsp sun dried tomatoes, diced
Zest and juice of 1/2 a lemon
Black pepper to taste (The peppers and olives add plenty of saltiness. Taste before you add more.)


Stir...
Chill...
Serve


Or do what I did...


I slapped two halves of an English muffin in the oven for a few minutes, scooped some of the salad on the muffin and topped it with a little (okay, big) slice of goat cheese. Stick it back in the oven for a few minutes and crank it up to a broil for a minute at the very end. 


It will change your life!


Don't be afraid of adding an egg to tuna salad recipes. It makes it creamier and it stretches the recipe.
