Yes, I am a Tuna snob because I only eat Albacore. I blame it on my little Momma because it's the only tuna she will buy. I really can eat this tuna right out of the can with nothing on it's that good. Of course, you can use any tuna you want but try a can of albacore and see what you think.
This salad is a combination of 2 different salads that I like order at our local Italian restaurants except that when I make my version at home I must use Albacore, add some roasted reds and my favorite toppings.

How to Make Italian Tuna Salad
- Drain your solid white Albacore Tuna in water or oil. Pour a small amount of Italian dressing over tuna to coat. Now flake up the tuna and set aside.
- Prepare your greens by rinsing and draining then chopping up and placing in a bowl. Next, all your remaining ingredients except your toppings including tuna and set aside till ready to serve.
- Add a little dressing right before serving or set dressing on table with the toppings.
- Here is one of the dressings that I love called Northern Italian w/basil & romano and Mezzetta's deli-sliced golden greek pepperoncini's that I use.
