A great choice for the dog days of summer or when you don’t want to turn on the oven, this vibrant salad is a cinch to prepare. The perky acidity and peppery arugula are the perfect counterbalance to the meaty tuna. Be sure to use the freshest of ingredients for the best result.

1

Tear the arugula into large pieces. Drain and finely chop the capers, and in a small bowl, combine them with the white wine, lemon juice and 1/4 cup of olive oil.

2

Combine the remaining olive oil with the vinegar and toss with the arugula. Place a portion of the arugula in the middle of each of 4 plates. Arrange the tuna over the greens and garnish with radish sprouts, chopped shallot and the tomato. Spoon on the caper dressing and serve.
