- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions

- Step 2: Combine all the vegetables in a bowl with the olive oil, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Recipe Notes
Note 1: A high quality canned tuna, such as Tonnino or Portofino, is really worth the added cost. The cheaper canned tuna varieties tend to be mushy and tasteless with enhanced broth or cheap oil.
