Step by step recipe

Peel 450 g spring onion (scallion)...

Stage 3 - 3 min.

...then slice thinly into a salad bowl.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Add 450 g feta cut into small pieces and 150 g tuna in oil.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Finish by adding the well-drained tomatoes.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Prepare a simple dressing by mixing rapidly 15 tablespoons olive oil, 6 tablespoons lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Stage 7 - 2 min.

Pour the dressing into the salad bowl and mix well. Your salad is ready.

Remarks

If you don't have spring onions (scallions), you can use shallots instead or ordinary onions instead.

To keep to the spirit of the recipe, you really should try to use olive oil that comes from Crete; it's so good... If you can be tempted, allow me to recommend the one Arnaud sells, a real "must have".

Keeping

1 or 2 hours in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
