Ingredients

• 500 g baby potatoes
• 150 g salami
• 1 small red onion
• 2 tbsp parsley
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small can tuna (in oil, drained)
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp capers
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skins on for added texture and flavor.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, dice the salami into small, bite-sized pieces and finely chop the red onion. Set aside along with the chopped parsley.

Step 4

To make the tuna dressing, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and capers in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the diced salami, chopped red onion, and parsley. Drizzle with olive oil and gently toss to combine.

Step 6

Pour the tuna dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with additional parsley or capers if desired.
