Ingredients

- 160 g canned tuna (in oil or water, as preferred)
- 150 g Delaco Sofia cheese, diced
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 red kapia pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large lemon (juice)
- 10 black olives (optionally sliced in rounds)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Preparation step by step

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by draining the canned tuna. If you prefer tuna in water, you can gently rinse it to remove excess salt. Then place it in a large bowl.

2. Cut the cheese: Cut the Delaco Sofia cheese into small cubes. It will add a creamy flavor and savory taste to your salad.

3. Adding the vegetables: Add finely chopped red onion, thinly sliced red kapia peppers and black olives (if using) to the bowl with the tuna and cheese. These veggies not only add color, but also a crunchy texture that will make the salad more appealing.

4. Dressing: Squeeze the juice of a large lemon over the mixture in the bowl. The lemon juice will give a fresh taste and balance the richness of the cheese and tuna.

5. Seasoning: Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. It is important not to overdo the salt, especially if the tuna is already salty.

6. Add mayonnaise: Finish the salad by adding two tablespoons of mayonnaise. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated. The mayonnaise will bind all the flavors and provide a nice creaminess.

7. Serving: Delaco Sofia Tuna and Cheese Salad is delicious immediately after making, but you can also leave it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. It's great served with seeded black bread or expanded rice rounds.

Useful tips

- Healthy version: If you prefer a healthier version, you can replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt, which adds extra protein and reduces total calories.
- Optional additions: You can experiment with adding other ingredients, such as sweetcorn, avocado or cherry tomatoes for extra freshness and color.
- Advance preparation: The salad can be prepared several hours before serving, making it ideal for parties or quick lunches.
