Tips:
The original name derives from the fusion of the Italian words Insalatona and Tonno for mixed salad and tuna respectively.
Yellowfin Tuna in extra virgin olive oil is highly recommended. If you use a tuna can in water or vegetable oil completely drain it before the use. High quality tuna is the key for a great result.
We advice to use a Danish Feta cheese because of its strong and salty flavor.
