Potato Salad With Tuna Olives Red Peppers Recipes

RED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl to cool.
• In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, eggs, pickle, celery, green onions, and hot sauce. Season with dill, garlic powder, onion salt, salt, and pepper. Pour over the potatoes, and gently toss to coat. Chill at least 3 hours in the refrigerator before serving.

SKINNY RED POTATO AND TUNA SALAD

• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, yogurt, the snipped dill, the milk, lemon peel, salt, and garlic. Stir in cucumber, green onions, and radishes. Add cooked potatoes, tuna, and chopped eggs; toss gently to coat. Cover and chill for 4 to 6 hours.
• To serve, line six serving bowls with cabbage leaves. Gently stir tuna mixture; spoon onto cabbage. If desired, garnish with fresh dill sprigs.

POTATO SALAD WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS

• In a small glass jar, combine the oil, mustard, vinegar, agave syrup and garlic. Shake vigorously until emulsified. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.
• To assemble: Combine the potatoes and red peppers in a large mixing bowl. Toss with the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the scallions, if using.

SEARED TUNA WITH THE BEST POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• For the potato salad: Cook the potatoes, and while still warm, add the capers and a good squeeze of the lemon. Add the oil, and toss in the red onion and celery heart and season carefully with salt and pepper.
• Lay out your tuna steaks on a tray and season with salt and pepper. I prefer to cook it on one of those ridged grill pans or in a frying pan. Rub your pan, which should be very, very hot, with a little bit of olive oil on a piece of kitchen paper, then put in the tuna. What you want to do is sear the tuna so that it toasts, fries, and browns, about 45 to 60 seconds on each side. Once cooked, I like to rip the steaks in half and place them on top of the potato salad. Smash or pound up the basil in a mortar and pestle. Add a good glug of olive oil with a squeeze of lemon, and spoon this over each tuna steak.

POTATO, RED ONION & OLIVE SALAD

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 15-20 mins until tender, then drain well and tip into a large bowl.

• Pour over the potatoes and olives, toss well, then leave to cool. Can be covered and chilled for up to 1 day.

POTATO SALAD WITH OLIVES AND PEPPERS

HERBY POTATO SALAD WITH SMASHED OLIVES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot; add 2 teaspoons salt and enough water to cover generously. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, until just tender when pierced with a fork. (Be careful not to overcook!) Drain and set aside until just cool enough to handle.
• While the potatoes cook, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar and mustard with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the olives, shallot and capers, and set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
• When the potatoes are just cool enough to handle, cut them in half (or quarters, to end up with bite-size pieces), and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently combine and set aside to cool completely, tossing occasionally.
• Stir in the mint and parsley, along with more salt and pepper to taste, and serve the potato salad at room temperature.

WARM POTATO SALAD WITH OLIVES

Steps:

• Slice potatoes 1/4 inch thick and place in a large saucepan. Add salted water to cover by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer potatoes until tender, 6 to 8 minutes; do not overcook. Drain and transfer to a bowl.
• Add red onion, and Kalamata olives to the warm potatoes; toss gently.
• Whisk vinegar, parsley, olive oil, thyme, salt, pepper, and sugar together in a small bowl. Pour dressing over potato mixture, tossing gently. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MEDITERRANEAN TUNA, POTATO, OLIVE, AND FETA SALAD WITH GARLIC DRESSING

• Separate garlic cloves, leaving skins intact. In a large kettle cover potatoes with salted water by 2 inches and add garlic. Simmer potatoes and garlic until potatoes are just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and garlic in a colander and, when cool enough to handle, cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Peel garlic and in a blender puree with water, vinegar, oil, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Potatoes may be prepared and dressing made 1 day ahead and chilled separately, covered.
• Cut beans into 1-inch pieces. Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook beans until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes for haricots verts or 6 minutes for regular green beans. In a colander drain beans and plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Pat beans dry. Cut bell pepper into 1/4-inch dice and halve cucumber lengthwise. Seed cucumber and diagonally cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Pit and chop olives. Vegetables and olives may be prepared up to this point 4 hours ahead and chilled separately, covered.
• Drain tuna and transfer with potatoes, beans, bell pepper, cucumber, and olives to a large bowl.
• Just before serving, toss salad with dressing and crumble feta on top.
