Ingredients

1 7-ounce can tuna, preferably packed in olive oil, drained

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 2 small lemons)

3/4 cup chopped onion

3/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon capers, washed and drained

1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh-cut vegetables, or crackers, for serving

Preparation

Place the tuna in a blender or food processor and pulse to break it up. Turn on low speed and add the olive oil, lemon juice, onion, parsley, garlic, capers, salt, and pepper, one at a time, until they are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth. Place in a small bowl and serve with the fresh-cut vegetables or crackers on the side.
