Mediterranean Tomato and Tuna Salad

A Big Daddy original this is absolutely perfect for lunches, or as a side dish with summertime meals. If you don't care for tuna it is also delicious with shredded chicken breast.

1 pint	cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced in half
1-6 ounce can	solid white tuna in water, broken into bite size chunks
¾ cup	crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup	chopped parsley
1 teaspoon	dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
Vinaigrette
½ cup	extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon	dried oregano
1 teaspoon	Balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon	salt
1 teaspoon	freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves	garlic, smashed

Whisk the oil and vinegar together in a bowl. Add remaining vinaigrette ingredients, stir to combine and place in fridge for at least one half hour to allow the flavors to meld. Toss salad ingredients in a bowl and place in fridge until ready to serve.

When ready to serve strain the vinaigrette into the salad and toss to combine. Adjust for seasonings and garnish with parsley.
