1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp. fresh mint, chopped
1 tsp. sea salt
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved

1. In a large mixing bowl add Bumble Bee® Premium Albacore Tuna, kalamata olives, feta cheese, bell peppers, red onion, chickpeas, zest and juice of one lemon, dijon mustard, olive oil and sea salt.
2. Stir well to combine.
3. Add tomatoes and gently fold into the mixture.

5. Enjoy!!

Gazpacho
Gazpacho, a no-cook tomato soup, is almost ridiculously refreshing, and on top of that, it's got great Spanish flair. Why not whip up a batch for your next summer soiree?

Ingredients
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 whole red onion, diced
1 whole large cucumber, diced
5 whole Roma tomatoes, diced
1 whole zucchini, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 dash salt to taste
1/4 gallon tomato juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/8 cup red wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons white sugar
6 dashes Tabasco
1 dash black pepper to taste

Directions
1. In the bowl of a food processor or in a blender, combine the minced garlic with half the red onion, half the cucumber, half the tomato, half the zucchini, half the celery, half the tomato juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar, Tabasco, and a dash of salt.
2. Pulse until all ingredients are blended well; mixture will have a nice speckled, colorful texture.
3. Pour into a large bowl and add the rest of the tomato juice, and half of the remaining onion, cucumber, tomato, zucchini, and celery. (Reserve the rest of the diced vegetables for garnish.)
4. Stir mixture together and check seasonings, adding salt if needed. Chill soup for at least a couple of hours; soup needs to be very cold!
5. Remove the soup from the fridge and stir. Check seasonings one last time. Ladle into a bowl and garnish with remaining diced vegetables, a sliver of fresh avocado, sour cream, and cilantro. Finally, place a grilled shrimp on the top and serve with grilled slices of bread.

Homemade Sushi
You may think of sushi as a dish that takes a lifetime to master... but if you don't mind lowering your standards a wee bit, it's actually not too difficult to pull off yourself. And its way cheaper to make it yourself than eat at a restaurant.

Ingredients
6 sheets sushi seaweed, aka nori
1 batch prepared sushi rice
1/2 lb sushi-grade raw salmon, or desired raw fish of choice
4 oz cream cheese, sliced into strips
1 avocado, sliced
Soy sauce, for serving


Directions
1. Place the seaweed on a bamboo mat, then cover the sheet of seaweed with an even layer of prepared sushi rice. Smooth gently with the rice paddle.
2. Layer salmon, cream cheese, and avocado on the rice, and roll it up tightly. Slice with a sharp knife, and enjoy with soy sauce.
