tuna

🥗Healthier: canned salmon

💰Cheaper: canned mackerel

Canned mackerel is often less expensive and still provides a similar texture and flavor.

black olives

🥗Healthier: kalamata olives

💰Cheaper: green olives

Green olives can be a more affordable option while still adding a briny flavor.

anchovies

🥗Healthier: capers

💰Cheaper: smoked paprika

Capers provide a similar salty flavor without the fish.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is a more budget-friendly option for dressing.

Blanch green beans in boiling water until tender, about 3-4 minutes, then shock in ice water to stop cooking.

Slice tomatoes into wedges and place in a large bowl.

3

Peel and quarter hard-boiled eggs, setting aside for garnish.

4

Drain tuna and flake into large pieces, adding to the bowl with tomatoes.

6

Thinly slice red onion and add to the mixture.

Drizzle olive oil and vinegar over the salad and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients without breaking the eggs.

9

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
