Directions
Believe it or not, it took me a few attempts to get it JUST right. Heres what I did first attempt using a plain can of albacore tuna packed in water with canned black olives and all the other ingredients listed below. It was pretty dry and lacked the flavor I was trying to match. I went back to the store and picked up some canned Italian tuna packed in olive oil (I was adding oil to the salad anyway) and good quality olives. Tonno Genova was the brand of tuna I bought, its a little pricier than regular tuna but not by much. Each can cost me three dollars and was available in my local supermarket. Its also available in Costco, Walmart, or buy it by the case on Amazon (affil link). Amazing the difference it makes in flavor and it wasnt dry at all.,I drained the tuna really well and reserved some of the olive oil to add to my salad winner!,As a test, I left one refrigerated in a jar overnight to take to the beach. The next day I had it for lunch and thought it tasted even better! The flavors had a chance to meld.,So for those of you who are going to ask me can you use canned tuna packed in water or canned black olives the answer is yes, but it wont taste as good as my final recipe. Up to you!
