Italian Tuna Salad
From Food Network Kitchens

Ingredients
4 sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 red onion, minced
1 (12-ounce) can solid white albacore tuna in water, drained
1 rib celery, chopped
1/4 cup pitted nicoise olives
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Suggested serving: whole grain breads or bountiful greens

Instructions
Cover the sun-dried tomatoes with hot water in a bowl.
Set aside until soft, about 20 minutes, then drain, chop, and put in a medium
bowl. To mellow the minced onion, soak it in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain
it well, pat dry and add to the tomatoes.

Add the tuna, breaking it into large chunks, along with the celery, olives, and
capers, and toss to combine. Add the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, and basil
and toss again. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve cold, with bread or
greens, if desired.
