Soak the sun-dried tomatoes in hot water in a bowl and let them soften for about 20 minutes. Drain, chop, and transfer to a medium bowl. To soften the flavor of the minced red onion, soak it in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain, pat dry, and add it to the tomatoes.
Add the tuna, breaking it into large chunks, then mix in the celery, olives, and capers. Toss to combine. Pour in the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped basil, then toss again. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve chilled with bread or greens if preferred.
