Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 200 grams Canned tuna in olive oil
- 1 medium Red onion
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the baby potatoes well and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set them aside to cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooling, dice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. Roughly chop the fresh parsley.
Drain the canned tuna and flake it lightly with a fork to break it into chunks.
In a small bowl, prepare the Dijon dressing by whisking together Dijon mustard, extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, red onion, cherry tomatoes, tuna, and capers. Pour the Dijon dressing over the top and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salad and toss lightly. Serve the salad slightly warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
