My family and I just got back from a 10-day Mediterranean cruise, and I have to say, it was pretty magical. We visited 5 different countries, ending with three ports of call in Greece.
Now that weรขโฌโขre home, it has been adjustment to get back into รขโฌลreal lifeรขโฌย. Some of the things I miss include waking up to gorgeous sunsets over the Mediterranean Sea and exploring ancient ruins (with the highlight being the Parthenon!) with my family. Thankfully I took thousands of photos, so I have these memories to look back onรขโฌโbut I have to be honest, Iรขโฌโขm still massively craving is the food!
Mediterranean cuisine is fresh and healthyรขโฌโ full of color and flavor thatรขโฌโขs rich in olive oil and often includes seafood. If I could, I would plop myself on an island in Greece right now and nosh myself into a food coma รขโฌยฆ itรขโฌโขs just that good!
Since thatรขโฌโขs clearly not an option, Iรขโฌโขm taking my desire for food inspired by my trip to my own kitchen. I recently found Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil at my local Walmart and knew instantly that it would be the perfect base for Greek Tuna Salad.
Genova is different than most other brands of tuna because instead of being packed in water, itรขโฌโขs packed in pure olive oilรขโฌโ keeping the rich flavor of the fish at the forefront, while providing a good source of protein, Omega-3, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6 and selenium.
Plus, yellowfin tuna is one of the best cuts of fish, and Genova ensures that itรขโฌโขs line caught and hand-filleted for exceptional quality and flavor.
