TUNA SALAD WITH HOT AND SWEET PEPPERS



Tuna Salad With Hot and Sweet Peppers image

Inspired by the oil-and-vinegar tuna salads of the Mediterranean, this version includes new-world peppers. Letting thin slices of hot and sweet peppers sit with vinegar and salt for a few minutes gives them a pickled taste without taking away their crispness. It also makes for a sharp dressing when mixed with the olive oil from oil-packed tuna. Celery and parsley bring freshness to this blend, which is wonderful on its own and versatile enough to be spooned over toast or tossed with lettuce or pasta.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, snack, weeknight, appetizer, main course, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 red, orange or yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 hot green chile, such as serrano, seeded if desired, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons sherry or red wine vinegar
Salt and black pepper
2 celery stalks
2 (5-ounce) cans or 1 (7- to 8-ounce) jar tuna packed in olive oil
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Toss the pepper and the chile with the vinegar and a big pinch of salt in a large bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the celery into 1/4-inch dice.
  • Add the celery, tuna with all of its oil and chopped parsley to the peppers. Toss until the tuna flakes into bite-size pieces and everything is well mixed, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest ingredients possible. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your sandwich.
  • Choose a good quality tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in olive oil or water, and avoid tuna that is packed in mayonnaise or other sauces.
  • Use a variety of olives. This will add flavor and texture to your sandwich.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of bread. A hearty whole grain bread or a crusty baguette would both be delicious.
  • Serve your sandwich with a side of your favorite salad or soup.

Conclusion:

The Mediterranean-style tuna and olive sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or dinner option. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this sandwich a try.
