Infusions Tuna Basil
Classic tuna with basil-infused extra virgin olive oil in a resealable, no-drain pot. Perfect for topping a salad when you want a light lunch that doesn't require much preparation time.
Step 1
Place the sliced onions into a small bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside while you prepare the rest. This takes away some of the harshness of the raw onion.
Step 2
Spread the stale bread out on a plate. Mix together the olive oil and wine vinegar and drizzle it over the bread then leave it to soak in (at least 5 minutes but up to a few hours is fine).
Step 3
In a large bowl, mix the lettuce, tomatoes, olives, mozzarella and basil then add the bread, drained onions and half the tuna. Mix well then transfer to a serving bowl or large platter and top with the remaining tuna. Season with black pepper and serve or chill for later.
