Mediterranean Tuna, Potato, Olive, and Feta Salad with Garlic Dressing image

Categories     Salad     Olive     Potato     Feta     Tuna     Summer     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large head garlic
1 1/2 pounds small red potatoes (each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter)
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3/4 pound haricots verts (thin French green beans) or regular green beans
1 red bell pepper
1/2 English cucumber
10 Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives
two 6-ounce cans solid white tuna in water
1/3 cup crumbled feta (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Separate garlic cloves, leaving skins intact. In a large kettle cover potatoes with salted water by 2 inches and add garlic. Simmer potatoes and garlic until potatoes are just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and garlic in a colander and, when cool enough to handle, cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Peel garlic and in a blender puree with water, vinegar, oil, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Potatoes may be prepared and dressing made 1 day ahead and chilled separately, covered.
  • Cut beans into 1-inch pieces. Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook beans until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes for haricots verts or 6 minutes for regular green beans. In a colander drain beans and plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Pat beans dry. Cut bell pepper into 1/4-inch dice and halve cucumber lengthwise. Seed cucumber and diagonally cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Pit and chop olives. Vegetables and olives may be prepared up to this point 4 hours ahead and chilled separately, covered.
  • Drain tuna and transfer with potatoes, beans, bell pepper, cucumber, and olives to a large bowl.
  • Just before serving, toss salad with dressing and crumble feta on top.

1 small red onion
2 -4 limes, depending on juiciness

RED CABBAGE, FETA & OLIVE SALAD



Red Cabbage, Feta & Olive Salad image

I had to make this salad two days in a row. When I got home from work yesterday, my husband asked me where I'd hidden the leftovers from the night before because he wanted them for lunch. Well, I'd taken them with me for MY lunch -- so I made another batch last night to go with our chili. The night before that I'd served it with shredded chicken Bobbie-Q (see my recipes) over mashed potatoes. There was a bit left over last night -- and I made sure to leave it for my husband. I brought peanut butter & a cucumber for my lunch instead. *sigh* Anyway, if you do have any of this salad left, use it by the next day.

WATERMELON, FETA, ONION AND BLACK OLIVE SALAD image

Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (4- to 4 1/2-pound) piece watermelon, preferably seedless
3 large ripe tomatoes, preferably green or orange heirlooms, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 medium red onion
2-4 limes, depending on amount of juice
4 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 bunch fresh flat leaf parsley
3-4 Tbsp. olive oil
100 gm pitted black olives (optional)
250g feta
black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel and halve the red union and cut into very fine half-moons and put in a small bowl to steep with the lime juice for 4-6 hours, to bring out the transparent pinkness in the onion and diminish their rasp. Two limes' worth should do it unless they are not juicy and then you need to add more. Remove the rind and pips from the watermelon and cut into approximately 4cm triangular chunks. Cut the feta and tomatoes into similar sized pieces and put them both into a large, wide shallow bowl. Tear off sprigs of parsley so that is it is used like a salad leaf and add to the bowl along with the chopped mint. Tip the now glowingly puce onions, along with their pink juices over the salad in the bowl, add the oil and olives, then using your hands, toss the salad very gently so that the feta and melon don't lose their shape. Add a good grinding of black pepper and taste to see if the dressing needs more lime.
