Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by draining a can of high-quality tuna packed in olive oil. Use a fork to flake the tuna into a medium mixing bowl, breaking it up into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Add Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, diced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl with the tuna. Incorporate fresh dill for an aromatic touch and gently combine using a spatula.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and dried oregano. Season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture and gently toss to ensure the flavors meld nicely without breaking apart the tuna.
  5. Adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice for extra brightness.
  6. Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Enjoy it immediately or chill for about 30 minutes to deepen the flavors.
