In this light but filling lunch, canned tuna—our consummate pantry pal—is tossed with a punchy lemon-caper vinaigrette and served with a crisp side salad. Try this once and you won't miss the mayonnaise-heavy alternative one bit.

1 small bell pepper, halved, cored, and finely chopped (1 cup)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grainy mustard
3 tablespoons chopped capers
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Dressed salad greens, such as escarole, for serving

Place tuna in a bowl and flake with a fork. Add bell pepper, oil, lemon juice, mustard, capers, and parsley; stir well to combine and season with salt and pepper. Serve with salad greens, cucumbers, and crackers on the side.
