Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 200 grams Canned tuna in olive oil
- 1 medium Red onion
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the baby potatoes well and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set them aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
While the potatoes are cooling, dice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. Roughly chop the fresh parsley.
Step 3
Drain the canned tuna and flake it lightly with a fork to break it into chunks.
Step 4
In a small bowl, prepare the Dijon dressing by whisking together Dijon mustard, extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, red onion, cherry tomatoes, tuna, and capers. Pour the Dijon dressing over the top and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salad and toss lightly. Serve the salad slightly warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
