Categories     Salad

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup finely chopped dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes or oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes*
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans (rinsed and drained, divided)
1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Zest and juice of 1 small lemon (about ¾ teaspoon zest and 3 tablespoons juice)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
12 ounces (dry weight) canned wild caught solid pack tuna in water
3 stalks celery (finely diced)
3 tablespoons capers (rinsed and drained)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
English muffins or whole grain bread (optional for serving)
Greens (such as spinach, arugula, or chopped romaine (optional for serving))

Steps:

  • Place the dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside to reconstitute while you prepare the rest of the salad.
  • To a food processor fitted with a steel blade, add 3/4 cup of the beans and the Greek yogurt. Blend until the beans start to become broken up and combined with the yogurt, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed. Add the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Process until smooth, scraping down the bowl once or twice as needed.
  • In a large mixing bowl, flake the tuna, leaving it fairly chunky. Add the celery, capers, parsley, and remaining beans.
  • Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and pat dry. Add them to the bowl with the tuna mixture.
  • Pour the Greek yogurt dressing over the top. With a spatula, gently stir to combine. Switch to a fork, continuing to stir and using the fork to break apart any clumps of ingredients that are sticking together, until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Serve however you like: open face on toasted English muffins or toasted bread topped with arugula (our favorite), on whole grain bread with arugula or spinach as a sandwich, over a bed of greens, or however you like.

ITALIAN-STYLE TUNA SANDWICH



Italian-Style Tuna Sandwich image

Though an American cook (or even a French one) usually adds mayonnaise to the bowl when dressing canned tuna for a sandwich, Italian cooks invariably anoint theirs with olive oil instead. Capers, olives and anchovy often join the festivities; here they are combined with garlic and parsley to make a zesty salsa verde. Choose the best quality Italian or Spanish canned tuna-the extra cost is well worth it. The other essential ingredient is freshly baked bread, like a good crisp baguette or crusty ciabatta roll.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, sandwiches, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup Italian parsley leaves, washed and dried
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup roughly chopped green olives, such as Castelvetrano
3 or 4 anchovy fillets, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped capers
Zest of 1 lemon
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Salt and pepper
1 baguette or 4 ciabatta rolls
Handful of lettuce leaves, arugula or watercress
8 ounces best quality oil packed tuna, drained, in large chunks
4 hard-boiled eggs
Salt and pepper
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced, optional

Steps:

  • Make the salsa verde: Whiz parsley leaves and 1/2 cup oil in a food processor or blender to a pesto-like consistency, then transfer to a small bowl. (Alternatively, chop parsley by hand and combine with oil.) Add garlic, chopped olives, anchovies, capers, lemon zest and red pepper to parsley mixture and stir well. Season with salt if necessary and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Thin with more oil as desired.
  • Cut baguette crosswise into 4 equal pieces, then split each lengthwise with a serrated knife. (If using rolls, split each lengthwise.) For each sandwich, lay bread flat, crust side down. Spread cut sides with 2 tablespoons salsa verde. Put a few lettuce leaves on 1 piece of bread and arrange 2 ounces of tuna over lettuce. Top tuna with 1 egg, quartered. Season egg lightly with salt and pepper. Add sliced serrano chile, if using. Drizzle with a little more salsa verde, then press sandwich closed.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality canned tuna: Opt for chunk light tuna or solid white tuna packed in olive oil or water. Avoid tuna packed in vegetable oil, as it can be high in unhealthy fats.
  • Don't overcook the tuna: Overcooked tuna can become dry and tough. Flake the tuna gently with a fork just until it is cooked through.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Add your favorite vegetables to the salad, such as celery, onion, red peppers, or zucchini. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: A good dressing can really make the salad. Try a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs, or use a creamy dressing made with mayonnaise, yogurt, or sour cream.
  • Serve the salad chilled: Tuna salad is best served chilled. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Condiglione is a delicious and versatile Italian tuna salad that can be enjoyed as a main course or as a side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of tuna, vegetables, and a flavorful dressing, condiglione is a surefire hit at any gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this classic Italian recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
