FENNEL, RADISH AND CUCUMBER SALAD WITH TUNA DRESSING (TONNATO)



Fennel, Radish and Cucumber Salad with Tuna Dressing (Tonnato) image

This dressing is your basic Caesar with tuna substituting for anchovies. It is very simple and very versatile. We served it drizzled over radishes, cucumbers and fennel. But I challenge you to find a vegetable this dressing doesn't go well with. It's great on boiled beets, raw tomatoes, green beans... I could go on and on but have already exhausted my welcome in this sentence. You get the point, eat more vegetables.

1/3 garlic clove, finely grated
Kosher salt
1/2 pound red radishes, trimmed and chopped
2 cucumbers, chopped
1 bulb fennel, trimmed and roughly chopped
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • For the dressing: Put the tuna, mayonnaise, canola oil, water, lemon juice, garlic and some salt in a food processor and puree until very smooth, about 1 minute.
  • For the salad: Put the radishes, cucumbers, fennel and parsley in a large bowl.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the fennel mixture. Top with a little more lemon juice and toss to coat.

Tips:

  • You can add other vegetables to this salad, such as tomatoes, red onion, or bell pepper.
