More and more research is pointing to the Mediterranean diet being a healthy (and delicious!) way to lose weight. Since this recipe for panzanella from The Mamma Mia! Diet by Paola Lovisetti Scamihorn calls for tuna canned in olive oil, no other oil is needed.
If you use tuna canned in water, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. You can substitute Tuscan bread with other hearty Italian breads.
