Salty olives and tangy capers enrich the flavor palette, harmonizing with the delicate canned tuna, whose rich taste is highlighted by a light dressing of olive oil and black pepper. Red onion completes the composition, adding a subtle sharpness. This salad is ideal as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to the main dinner.
