Tuna salad re-vamped

I love tuna, ahi style. I was always grossed out by the canned version. 

But one day I had an amazing tuna sandwich on a whim, at Dory Deli. It's by the pair in Newport Beach. Check it out, it's fantastic.

Anyways, I suppose I disliked the idea of tuna in a can, since it's well, in a can. But also since typically it's mixed with mayo. I not a fan of mayo...

But this sandwich had tuna with balsamic vinegar, mixed greens, fresh tomatoes...things I love.

So, my tuna salad varies depending on the fresh produce I have on hand. But usually it goes like this:

1 can drained tuna

About 10 sliced cherry tomatoes
1 can of sliced olives
4 slices, quartered cucumbers
Fresh lemon juice

Now, that's the minimum, add some chopped bell peppers, olives, capers...

And any mixed greens you like.

The dressing:
1 heaping tbsp of Dijon Mustard
2-3 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
Some italian seasonings...
