I got this recipe when I was at a crafts fair in Scotland. There was a cooking demonstration in the old fish market hall by the harbour, you could taste the food and get the recipe. I love having tuna salad during the summer months, when it's to warm to cook and all you want is a light meal. If you don't want to make your own dressing it's also nice with French Dressing.
Ingredients:
1 lb tuna steak, skinned and cubed,can be fresh or defrosted
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 (14 ounce) can red kidney beans, washed and drained
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cucumber, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons vinegar
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
green salad leaves, to garnish
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a pan.
2. Add garlic, onion and tuna, cover and cook for 5-7 minutes on a low to medium heat.
3. Spoon mix into a large dish and add the beans, cucumber and tomatoes.
4. For the dressing, put all dressing ingredients in a dressing shaker (you can use a jar with a screw top lid) and shake until everything is mixed well.
5. Pour the dressing over the tuna salad.
6. Arrange the tuna salad on a bed of green salad leaves of your choice to serve.
