Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden. Set aside to cool. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, olives, capers and basil. Add the bread, season and toss well.
  2. Whisk together the oil, vinegar, sugar and garlic. Season and pour over the salad. Mix well, cover and stand for 30 minutes or up to 1 hour to allow the flavours to develop.
  3. Just before serving, gently fold in the tuna. Divide between 4 salad bowls and serve with an extra drizzle of olive oil, if you like.

I love this recipe because it is perfect to share with friends on a summers day. It brings a light, fresh Mediterranean touch to a British summer.
