Virginas Tuna Salad Recipes

NEW WIFE TUNA SALAD

My husband says this tuna salad is even better than his mother's. Not too pickly tasting, mild with a nice blend of flavor. You can add more mayo for a creamier salad.

GREEK-STYLE TUNA SALAD

I had this in a restaurant once and it was so good I had to go home and recreate it. I have it with spinach stuffed in a pita or sandwich. I've cut back on the dressing to keep the calorie count low but adding more is yummy!

MEDITERRANEAN TUNA SALAD

I found the original recipe in an article and tweaked it to my taste. Have to say that I like this Mediterranean version of tuna salad better than normal mayo/prepared mustard version. Spread into pita bread or on sandwich bread and enjoy... I like to add slices of Swiss or Cheddar cheese and a handful of fresh spinach leaves.

THE BEST TUNA SALAD

While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.

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.
