Tuna is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which may protect against heart disease, high blood pressure, and many cancers. Capers bring Mediterranean flair -- and antioxidants -- to this dish.

Ingredients

Serves 4

1 large can (12 ounces) water-packed solid albacore tuna, drained
1 celery stalk, diced (1/2 cup), leaves reserved (1/4 cup)
1 strip (1 1/2 inches) lemon zest, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
3 tablespoons almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons drained brine-packed capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup dill sprigs
8 ounces mixed salad greens
4 slices multigrain bread, halved and toasted

Directions

Combine tuna, diced celery, lemon zest and juice, almonds, oil, capers, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Season with pepper, and stir gently. Mix in dill and celery leaves. Serve tuna over greens with toast on the side.
