- Rinse albacore with cool water; pat dry with paper towels. Place albacore in a large skillet in just sufficient water to cover. Season water with lemon and onion slices, bay leaf and black peppercorns to taste. Cover and simmer. Cook 8 min per inch of fish measured at its thickest point. Don't overcook! Albacore should be pink in center when removed from heat. Drain, cold and break into large chunks.
- While albacore is cooling, make dressing by combining extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, wine vinegar, soy sauce, mustard, garlic, oregano and basil. Gently toss albacore with dressing.
- Serve on bed of fresh minced lettuce and spinach. Garnish with tomato wedges, onions, olives, artichoke hearts and cucumber slices. Sprinkle with feta.

- Comments: This salad, also called "salata horiatiki," is a refreshing change for a lunch or possibly light dinner. Traditional Greek ingredients such as garlic, extra virgin olive oil, basil and oregano are further enhanced with a little lime juice and Dijon mustard, and do not forget the feta cheese!
