Tori Avey's Mediterranean Tuna recipe link, and my write ins on where I made some tailored changes for myself. However, I'm still grateful that Tori Avey publicly shared her tuna recipe because I'm thankful to have found a tuna prototype recipe that is easy to make, is affordable for my budget, and something that I can easily see myself eating even as my financial income increases;

Ingredients

• 1 can (5 oz) water packed tuna, drained (if you're not worried about the healthy fat content, get the Italian olive oil packed tuna in jars-- the flavor is terrific!)-I prefer to buy the tuna cans with olive oil such as Genova Tuna in olive oil or Starkist Tuna in olive oil and just mix the olive oil from the can and tuna together in a bowl, in addition to adding more olive oil for tasting from what I purchase
• 1 tbsp fresh chopped basil-at least two spoonfuls of basil, either fresh or the refrigerated kind ideally
• at least two cut-up sweet pickles, but can use regular pickles too- I forgot whether i used 2 or 3 pickles but at least two pickles are fine
• 1 finely chopped scallion - green part only (optional)-but regular cut onion can be used as well
• 2 tbsp lemon juice, or lime juice or more to taste-add at least two spoonfuls-regular spoon size
• Extra virgin olive oil to taste-I add at least two spoonfuls 
• at least two spoonfuls of cut-up cilantro
• Salt and pepper to taste-I didn't add salt and pepper for my latest batch

Total Time: 5 Minutes

Servings: 2

Kosher Key: Pareve

Pour the tuna in a small mixing bowl. Use a fork to break the tuna chunks into very small pieces.

Add the basil, pickles and lemon juice to the bowl. Use the fork to stir all the ingredients together till well mixed.

Add extra virgin olive oil to moisten the tuna to your liking
