Drain the canned tuna, reserving a little of the olive oil for extra flavor, and set aside.
In a food processor, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, fresh basil, garlic cloves, and extra virgin olive oil. Blend until a coarse pesto forms. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Thinly slice the small red onion.
In a large mixing bowl, add the arugula, sliced red onion, and capers.
Add the drained tuna to the bowl, breaking it up into large chunks.
Spoon the sun-dried tomato pesto over the salad ingredients.
Sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes over the salad for a spicy kick.
Gently toss all ingredients together until well combined and evenly coated with the pesto.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil leaves or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
