Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound small red-skinned potatoes, quartered
Kosher salt
3/4 pound sugar snap peas, strings removed
1 cup cherry tomatoes or chopped plum tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

  • Divide the lettuce among 4 bowls and drizzle with some of the dressing. Add the tuna, bell pepper, olives and basil to the potatoes and peas; add the remaining dressing and toss gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper, then pile on top of the lettuce.
