As a kid I thought "tuna salad" was tuna fish on a green salad. In service to my original concept, I created this quick and simple dish which is ideal for lunch or a light dinner. The sweet orange and red pepper is a lovely contrast to the heat of the peperoncino and salty capers.

The gazpacho and tuna salad made my mouth water. Karen and I are going to have to get off our duffs and make some of your recipes.
