How to Make Tuna Tomato Salad

  1. Arrange 2-3 large tomato slices on a plate.
  2. Drain one 5-ounce can of tuna and gently flake it on top of the tomato slices.
  3. For the dressing: If using tuna packed in oil, whisk together 1-2 teaspoons of the tuna oil with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Otherwise, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  4. Crumble 1-2 ounces of blue cheese (Roquefort recommended!) over the tuna and tomatoes.
  5. Drizzle the lemon-oil dressing evenly over the salad.
  6. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
