Step-by-Step Instructions for Mediterranean Tuna Salad
  1. Begin by draining the tuna and placing it in a medium bowl. Gently flake the tuna with a fork until well broken apart, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the halved Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, diced red onion, chopped parsley, and fresh dill to the flaked tuna. Fold gently to combine, about 1 minute.
  3. In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk until emulsified, about 30 seconds.
  4. Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture and toss gently to coat, about 1 minute.
  5. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
