MEDITERRANEAN TUNA AND RADISH SALAD

Provided by Lauren Chattman

Yield Serves 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 pound radishes, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
3 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
6 kalamata or other large black olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
2 6-ounce cans tuna (preferably imported and packed in olive oil), drained
1 medium head romaine lettuce, washed, dried, and torn into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Combine the radishes, parsley, scallions, olives, and tuna in a medium-size bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
  • Divide the lettuce leaves among 4 plates. Top with the tuna salad. Serve immediately.

Tips:

Choose Fresh Ingredients: Prioritize fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Fresh tuna, crisp radishes, and vibrant herbs will elevate the salad. Properly Sear Tuna: To achieve perfectly seared tuna, ensure the pan is hot before adding the fish. Sear briefly on each side, aiming for a golden crust and a rare or medium-rare center. Use High-Quality Olive Oil: Opt for extra virgin olive oil, as its rich flavor and health benefits will complement the salad well. Balance Flavors: Create a harmonious balance of flavors by combining sweet, salty, sour, and bitter elements. Sweetness from the honey-lemon dressing, saltiness from the capers and olives, sourness from the lemon juice, and bitterness from the arugula will create a complex and satisfying taste profile. Let Salad Rest: Allow the salad to rest for a few minutes after assembling. This allows the flavors to meld together and the dressing to soak into the ingredients, resulting in a more flavorful salad.

Conclusion:

The Mediterranean Tuna and Radish Salad is a delightful and nutritious dish that captures the essence of Mediterranean cuisine.
