TUNA SALAD WITH HOT AND SWEET PEPPERS



Tuna Salad With Hot and Sweet Peppers image

Inspired by the oil-and-vinegar tuna salads of the Mediterranean, this version includes new-world peppers. Letting thin slices of hot and sweet peppers sit with vinegar and salt for a few minutes gives them a pickled taste without taking away their crispness. It also makes for a sharp dressing when mixed with the olive oil from oil-packed tuna. Celery and parsley bring freshness to this blend, which is wonderful on its own and versatile enough to be spooned over toast or tossed with lettuce or pasta.

TUNA WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND LEMON



Tuna With Capers, Olives and Lemon image

This is not your mother's mayonnaise-laden tuna salad, but it's just as easy to prepare. Here's what you do: stir together some canned tuna, garlic, lemon juice, red onion, black olives, capers and fresh parsley, then spread it on buttered toast. Top it off with a round of ripe tomato or slivers of avocado and another slice of toast. That's it. If you want to make it into a dip, toss the mixture into a food processor with a few tablespoons of softened butter and a bit more olive oil. Purée until smooth and creamy and serve with carrots, fennel, bell pepper and seeded crackers. If you have a tin of sardines taunting you from inside your cabinet, we bet this recipe would work equally well with those.

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 seedless oranges, peel and white pith removed
1 small red onion, halved, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 9-ounce can white meat tuna packed in water, drained well, separated into chunks

Tips:

- To ensure the freshness of your tuna salad, use high-quality canned tuna that is packed in water. - For a more flavorful result, opt for tuna packed in olive oil instead of water. - When selecting oranges for your salad, choose ripe and juicy varieties, such as navel or Valencia oranges. - To enhance the sweetness of the oranges, consider using a combination of orange zest and juice. - If you prefer a milder flavor, use red bell pepper instead of green bell pepper. - For a crisp and refreshing texture, add chopped celery or thinly sliced red onion to the salad. - To add a nutty flavor to the salad, incorporate toasted walnuts or almonds. - If you prefer a mayonnaise-based dressing, feel free to substitute mayonnaise for the Greek yogurt in the recipe. - For a healthier alternative, use non-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt instead of regular Greek yogurt. - To create a vegan version of this salad, use mashed avocado instead of Greek yogurt.
