3 jarred roasted red peppers, diced (about 1 cup)
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 bulb fennel, diced small
One 6.7-ounce jar oil-packed tuna, drained, optional
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, optional

Directions
- For the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt and oregano.
