MAIN DISH SALAD WITH TUNA AND VEGETABLES

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.

TUNA VEGGIE PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to directions, drain, and set aside (I cook them while I chop the veggies). Zest the lemon into the bowl. Squeeze the lemon's juice into the bowl (tip: zap the lemon in the microwave for 5 seconds and then roll it on the counter with your palm to get more juice out of it). Add the garlic and basil. Add the olive oil (I base my "correct" amount of E.V.O.O. based on the consistency of the dressing- I like it to be about the consistency of salsa). Whisk everything together (and take a big whiff while you're at it- you'll think you've died and gone to heaven). Start chopping the veggies as chunky or fine as you want. Throw them in the bowl with the dressing as you go. When you're done with the veggies, add the pepporicini slices and olives. Then add the well drained tuna and mix everything together just until the dressing is totally incorporated. Now is a good time to adjust the seasonings and/or olive oil, so take a taste test and make your additions (or don't) accordingly. Finally, when the pasta is reasonably cool, add it in gradually and mix thoroughly (and as gently as possible). Let it chill in the fridge for a couple hours and enjoy!
