Good thing is that you can stock the Mediterranean Tuna in the fridge. So if you are planning to make this recipe ahead time. Just like what I did, you can chop the cucumber, small radishes, green and red onions, parsley, celery, and mint leaves. This vegetable and ingredients complemented and balance the taste of the tuna.

I was making a unique dressing made from special zesty Dijon mustard vinaigrette. Turns out what I want it to be. Perfect!
