MAIN DISH SALAD WITH TUNA AND VEGETABLES
For the past couple of decades restaurant menus have named any salad that features tuna, whether fresh or canned, raw or cooked, a Niçoise salad. Few of them resemble the traditional summer salad of Nice made with tomatoes and thin-skinned green peppers, cucumbers and other local vegetables such as fava beans and baby artichokes, olives, anchovies, hard-cooked eggs and oil-packed tuna. I often make a meal of a tuna, potato and vegetable salad. If tomatoes are out of season, I shred a carrot; and if green beans don't look good I use broccoli. Make sure to include lots of minced fresh herbs.

Steps:
- In a small bowl or pyrex measuring cup, whisk together the vinegar and lemon juice with the garlic, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard. Whisk in the olive oil and yogurt if using.
- Steam the potatoes above 1 inch simmering water for 10 to 15 minutes, until tender. Transfer to a large salad bowl, aand season with salt and pepper. Add the tuna and while the potatoes are hot toss with 1/4 cup of the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If using green beans, bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil, and fill a bowl with ice water. Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook 4 to 5 minutes, until just tender. Transfer to the ice water, cool and drain. Dry on paper towels. If using broccoli, steam for 5 minutes, refresh with cold water, and dry on paper towels. Add the cooked vegetables to the salad bowl, along with the red or green pepper, carrots if using, and half the herbs, and toss together with another 1/4 cup of the dressing.
- Assemble the salad: Either add the remaining ingredients to the salad bowl and toss with the remaining dressing, or toss the salad greens and remaining herbs with the remaining dressing and pile onto a platter or wide salad bowl. Top with the potato-tuna-vegetable mixture and garnish with the tomatoes, olives and eggs.

TUNA SALAD BOWLS
I think of this recipe as an inside-out tuna sandwich: a halved head of iceberg lettuce becomes two bowls for the tuna salad, which then gets topped with crisp toast points and, if you're feeling fancy, a poached egg. Using the water that the tuna is packed in for the dressing adds extra flavor-and turns this into a no-waste dish!

Steps:
- Cut the head of lettuce in half. Using a large spoon, hollow out the center of each half to create a bowl with walls that are about 1 inch thick. If the lettuce "bowl" is a little wobbly, then slice off a sliver from the rounded bottom to create a flat surface. Shred all of the lettuce that has been removed and set aside.
- Place the tuna in a medium bowl and break it up into smaller chunks with a fork. Add the pickles, parsley, scallions and shredded lettuce, and toss together so that all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of the reserved tuna water (plus more if the dressing is too thick) and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Add to the tuna and toss well until evenly coated. Divide the mixture between the prepared lettuce bowls, mounding into the center of each.
- Poach the eggs: Crack each egg into separate small bowls. Bring 2 inches of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Gently tip each egg into the simmering water and cook for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and leave the eggs in the hot water until set, about 8 minutes. Remove each egg with a slotted spoon and drain in the spoon over a paper towel to remove any excess water.
- Lightly butter the toasts and cut each in half diagonally. Arrange the toast points on top of the tuna salad and then place the poached egg on top of the toast points. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over each egg. Serve immediately.
SCUNGILLI SALAD
UPDATED: 5/8/2017 This is one of my family's favorite seafood salad. We use can Scungilli (sliced conch - which is one of a number of different species of medium-sized to large saltwater snails). And low in calories. I do understand that everyone taste might be a little different - this recipe is a good start, feel free to adjust ingredients to suit your family.

CREAMY CONCHIGLIE PASTA SALAD
Made by creating a dressing of sorts, this is the old Southern way of making pasta salad. Using celery, red and green bell peppers, onion, salad cubes (sweet pickles) with a blend of mayo, seasonings, and vinegar, the pasta melds into a wonderfully creamy, cold side dish that's perfect for cookouts and family gatherings, as well as Sunday dinners.
