Tuna and Potato Salad

Ingredients

3 quart Water
1 1/2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes (peeled & cut into 1/2 inch dice)
1 Tbsp. White wine vinegar
4 tsp. Olive oil
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 to taste Black pepper
2 can Canned no-salt added tuna fish in water
8 ounce Grape or cherry tomatoes
2 large Green onions (thinly sliced crosswise)
3 Tbsp. Fresh dill

Instructions

Place the water in a large stock pot fitted with a steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Steam the potatoes for about 30 minutes until slightly soft. A paring knife should slip easily in without breaking the potato.

Remove and drain into a colander and rinse with cold water. Place in the refrigerator to chill.

Place the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well blended.

Add the chilled potatoes, tuna, tomatoes, green onions and dill.

Fold gently.

Chill well before serving.

Recipe Notes

We love potato salad recipes and this one was inspired by a colleague after a few weeks in Spain. She said, “In Spain it doesn’t seem to be a salad without some tuna in it.” There are also a lot of potato salad variations. The two do go quite well together, and combined with the tomatoes, dill and mustard, this is a great summer potato salad perfect for serving at picnics.

"Experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn't see their thoughts as belonging to them. When ancient Greeks had a thought, it occurred to them as a god or goddess giving an order. Apollo was telling them to be brave. Athena was telling them to fall in love. Now people hear a commercial for sour cream potato chips and rush out to buy, but now they call this free will. At least the ancient Greeks were being honest."
