TRICOLOR SALAD ALLA SPLENDIDO
An Italian restaurant standard is kicked up a few notches in this recipe from Mario Carbone, the chef at Carbone restaurant in New York. If you find it hard to track down Italian frisée or various types of radicchio, you can substitute the usual trio of arugula, endive and radicchio. A helping of poached tuna adds richness and a hint of a salade niçiose.

Steps:
- Cut tuna into 4 even portions; season both sides with salt and pepper. With a peeler, cut 4 long strips from skin of lemon; place in a small pot with the bay leaves and tuna. Add about 2 cups oil, or enough to just cover the tuna. Over medium heat, bring oil to about 140 degrees and gently poach for 10 minutes, adjusting or turning off heat to maintain temperature, until tuna is cooked through. Turn off heat and allow tuna to cool in the oil for 10 minutes. Cut into 1/4-inch slices.
- Wash and dry all greens well. Keep leaves whole and place in a large bowl.
- Heat remaining 1/2 cup oil in a small saucepan with the capers, olives and raisins. Once they begin to fry lightly and become aromatic, add tuna slices and pour mixture over the greens. Juice the lemon and add 2 tablespoons juice, along with lime juice, parsley and chives. Toss well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide among 4 plates and serve immediately.
Tips for Making a Perfect Italian Tri-Color Salad:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste.
- Cut the vegetables into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a bit of crunch.
- Use a light vinaigrette dressing. A heavy dressing will weigh down the salad and make it less refreshing.
- Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately. Tri-color salad is best enjoyed fresh.
Conclusion:
Italian tri-color salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
