Roasted Pepper Tuna Olive Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange the roasted peppers on a plate. Scatter the tuna, eggs, onion and olives on top. Drizzle over the vinegar and oil, then scatter with parsley and seasoning.

Steps:

• Make tuna salad:
• Whisk together mayonnaise and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add remaining salad ingredients and stir together gently. Season with salt and pepper.
• Assemble sandwiches:
• Cut baguette into 4 equal lengths and halve each piece horizontally. Brush cut sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Make sandwiches with baguette, lettuce, and tuna salad.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mash garlic with the back of a spoon. Whisk in the lemon juice and 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Combine with the tuna, onion, olives, capers, herbs and salt to taste.
• Serve on buttered toast for sandwiches, or make into a dip: Pulse the tuna salad and butter in a food processor until it is creamy. With the motor of the processor running, slowly add the additional 4 tablespoons oil. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice if needed. Serve with cut vegetables (fennel and bell peppers are nice) and crackers.

Steps:

• Heat the broiler to high. Put the peppers on a baking tray and grill until blackened, turning often to evenly color. Put in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to cool.
• Cook the pasta following the pack instructions then drain and cool under cold running water. Set aside.
• Make the dressing by whisking together the vinegar, oil and some salt and pepper. Stir in the capers then fold through half the pasta and tip onto a platter.
• Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the blackened skin, remove the seeds and slice the flesh into strips. Add to the pasta.
• Flake on the tuna and scatter the olives and arugula on top. Finish with the remaining dressing. Serve.

Steps:

• Whisk oil, vinegar and garlic in large bowl to blend. Working over bowl with dressing, cut oranges between membranes, releasing segments into bowl. Add onion, bell pepper, tuna, olives and parsley; toss. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover; refrigerate.)
• Divide salad greens among plates. Spoon tuna salad over, dividing equally. Garnish with almonds.

Steps:

• Roast the pepper directly over a gas burner or under the broiler, turning often until uniformly charred. Remove from the heat, and place in a bowl. Cover tightly, and allow to cool.
• While you're waiting for the pepper to cool, make the tuna filling. Combine the garlic and a generous pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle, and mash to a paste. Add the anchovy, if using, and mash with the garlic. Add the capers, and mash together. In a bowl, break up the tuna with a fork, then stir in the garlic mixture, the lemon juice, olive oil and the yogurt. Add more yogurt or olive oil if the mixture seems dry. Season to taste with pepper (it should not need salt), and stir in the parsley.
• When the pepper is cool enough to handle, peel and discard the blackened skin, rinse briefly and pat dry. Cut away the top, then cut or pull apart the pepper into thirds. Remove seeds and membranes, holding the pepper over a bowl so that you can catch any juice. Lay the pepper pieces on a plate. Season with a little salt and pepper if desired, and fill with the tuna mixture. Serve.
