Method

  • step 1

    Dip the bread briefly into cold water, then squeeze well and crumble into a bowl. Halve the tomatoes and squeeze out the seeds, then roughly chop the flesh. Chop the cucumber into small chunks.

  • step 2

    Add the tomato and cucumber to the bread, then tear in the basil leaves. Drain and flake the tuna into chunks, add to the bread with the capers, vinegar, oil and salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything well and serve.

RECIPE TIPS
TIP

You need firm bread with a good structure for this salad as a softer loaf will disintegrate. If you don’t have ciabatta, use any country loaf with a good crust, or pitta bread.

Lovely recipe, I add chunks of mozarella for my child, and bake some bake at home baguettes or ciabatta if I can get hold of it.

This looks delicious and is going into my meal plan for next week. However, I want to check the protein level. 77g? 100g tinned tuna in springwater contains approx 25g protein, so where does the other 52g come from?

Seriously my favourite dish. I added some chopped red onion and red pepper to boost flavour. Soo so good. All the things I love in one. Yummy!!
