featured-image

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar or red-wine vinegar

  • 1 small clove garlic, grated

  • 2 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped

  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

  • 1 (5-ounce) can oil-packed tuna, undrained

  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 8 ounces ciabatta, cut into bite-size cubes (about 6 cups)

  • 1 cup thinly sliced red onion

  • 1 cup lightly packed basil leaves, chopped or torn, plus more for garnish

  • 2 (3-ounce) balls burrata, torn into bite-size pieces

Directions

  1. Stir 2 tablespoons vinegar and the grated garlic together in a large bowl. Place a colander inside the bowl; add chopped tomatoes. Sprinkle the tomatoes with ⅛ teaspoon salt; set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Gently shake the strainer so the juices from the tomatoes fall into the bowl; remove the colander and set aside. Pour the oil from the tuna can into the large bowl. Whisk in 6 tablespoons olive oil. Add ciabatta cubes, 1 cup onion, 1 cup basil and the reserved tomatoes; toss well. Divide the mixture among 4 plates; top evenly with the tuna and the burrata pieces. Spoon on any liquid left on the bottom of the bowl. Garnish with more basil, if desired.
