Artichoke & Sun-Dried Tomato Tuna Salad

Yield: 4 servings
Serving Size: 3/4 cup



Ingredients


12-ounce can albacore tuna in water, drained
1-1/2 cups marinated artichoke hearts, drained (reserve the marinade)
1/4 to 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil, undrained
1-1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil or 1-1/2 teaspoons dried
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Directions


Place the tuna, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Add a couple of tablespoons of the reserved artichoke marinade and toss to mix well. Add a little more marinade if the mixture seems too dry.

Serve immediately or cover and chill until ready to serve. If desired, serve on a bed of fresh salad greens, in whole-wheat pita pockets, or whole-wheat wraps lined with mixed salad greens.
