Place the drained tuna in a large mixing bowl and gently bream it into bite-sized pieces with a fork.
Add the artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, celery and shallots, and toss to combine.
Add the basil, lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, garlic, salt, and pepper, and toss to thoroughly combine.
Finally, add the olive oil and stir to evenly distribute.
Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference.

Notes

If your sun dried tomatoes are very dry and will be difficult to chew, soak them briefly in hot water to hydrate them slightly before chopping them and add to the salad. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
