TUNA, ARTICHOKE, AND ROASTED RED PEPPER SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Pepper     Brunch     No-Cook

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (12 oz) jar marinated quartered artichoke hearts
1/4 c. chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves minced
2 cups chopped fresh baby spinach
2 5oz cans albacore tuna in water
1 12 oz jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Drain artichokes, reserving 2 tablespoons marinade. Coarsely chop artichokes. Combine artichokes, reserved marinade, dill and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Add spinach, tuna, roasted peppers, tossing well.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh tuna, tender artichoke hearts, and crisp bell peppers will make a big difference in the taste of your salad.
  • Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's opaque in the center, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Drain the artichoke hearts well: Artichokes can be quite briny, so it's important to drain them well before adding them to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming too salty.
  • Use a light dressing: A light vinaigrette or lemon-herb dressing will help to enhance the flavors of the salad without overpowering them.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Tuna salad is best served immediately after it's made. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will start to meld together and the salad will lose its freshness.

Conclusion:

Tuna artichoke and pepper salad is a delicious and healthy dish that's perfect for lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that's sure to please everyone at the table.
