I'm not sure why this is deemed 'Italian' - I mean I know it has basil and balsamic vinegar, but I don't think it's actually from Italy. Regardless it is really a delicious and simple salad. Every time I make it, I wonder why I don't do it more often! **cook time is cool time** Ingredients:
3 carrots, shredded |
1 (12 ounce) can tuna in water, drained, rinsed and flaked |
6 basil leaves, chopped |
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, chopped |
2 green onions, chopped |
2 tablespoons mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons oil (i use olive) |
Directions:
1. Grate carrots (I prefer to do this on a box grater - I like the texture better than in a food processor).
2. Rinse/drain/flake the tuna.
3. Chop/chiffonade basil leaves.
4. Drain water chestnuts and chop them up.
5. Chop the green onions.
6. Mix the above together.
7. Whisk final 3 ingredients to combine and then pour on carrot/tuna mixture.
8. Cover and cool for a few hours before eating.
9. Salt as needed.
