Tuna and potato salad recipe
Great fresh flavours combine to make this tasty tuna salad.
Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 20 mins
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 800g new potatoes, scrubbed
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 200g canned tuna in springwater, drained
- 2 handfuls cherry tomatoes, halved
- quarter of a cucumber, chopped
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- basil leaves to garnish (optional)
Method
-
Cook the potatoes in gently boiling water for 20 minutes, until tender.
-
Meanwhile, in a salad bowl, mix together the lemon juice, garlic and parsley. Add the red onion and set aside.
-
Drain the cooked potatoes and add them to the salad bowl while they are hot. They will absorb the flavour of the dressing as they cool down.
-
When the potatoes are cool, add the tuna, tomatoes and cucumber. Stir everything together gently and season with black pepper. Serve immediately, or cover and chill to serve later.
Information:For a vegetarian version, replace the tuna with 100g reduced-fat feta cheese, cut into chunks.
