Categories     Tuna

Time 24m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 red bell pepper
8 ounces fresh green beans
1 (6 1/2 ounce) can canned tuna, drained and flaked (or leftover tuna)
1 cup chickpeas, canned or cooked from scratch, rinsed
2 teaspoons capers, rinsed
1/2 cup plain yogurt (lowfat or nonfat)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced fine
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed lightly between your fingers
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Broil the red pepper half until the skin blisters and chars; let cool and remove the skin.
  • When the pepper is cooled and peeled, dice them.
  • Clean the green beans, remove the ends, and cut into smaller pieces if desired - They look better long but are easier to eat small - you can always cut them up on the plate.
  • Blanch the green beans in boiling water for about 6 minutes.
  • Make the dressing: Mix the yogurt, vinegar, and garlic, then mix in the rest of the dressing ingredients.
  • These amounts are for 2 servings, so you'll use half of everything on each plate:.
  • On each plate, arrange green beans, chickpeas, and tuna each on a third of the plate.
  • Sprinkle the capers over the tuna.
  • Sprinkle the diced roasted red pepper over the chickpeas.
  • Pour as much dressing as desired over each salad.

SPA SALAD

This recipe is really good! I would suggest making it within a few hours of presenting it as well as keeping the dressing seperate until right before but it is so crunchy and fun, it has its own spirit to it! I served it at a tasting party I had with friends and the fresh squeezed lemon juice with a added small amount of lemon zest was a true hit! I will definitely be making it again.

Time 10m

Yield 12-16 Porcelain Spoons, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup sliced radish (thin slices)
1 cup sliced celery (thin sliced)
3/4 cup chopped parsley (flat leaf)

Steps:

  • Whisk together lemon juice and olive oil - salt & pepper to taste - but make sure the salt fully dissolves before you add more. Toss together the radishes, celery and lightly packed parsley in a large bowl.
  • If making ahead of time - wait to drizzle the dressing until right before you serve it and cover with a damp paper towel. If serving right away, drizzle dressing and enjoy!
  • Spoon salads in porcelain sppons - like the ones from Pier 1 or Crate & Barrel and serve them up to your guests!
