TUNA, RED ONION, AND PARSLEY SALAD



Tuna, Red Onion, and Parsley Salad image

This is my take on a salad featured in Bon Appetit. While I use a combination of fat-free mayonnaise and sour cream to make this consistent with the WW Core program, you should feel free to simply use 1/4 cup of your mayonnaise of choice. Please note cooking time is chilling time.

THE BEST TUNA SALAD



The Best Tuna Salad image

While we love many kinds of tuna salad, this classic version tops them all. The crispy celery and red onion give add zest and crunch, while mayonnaise and touch of mustard marry it all together. The lemon juice is optional as it's not traditional, but we strongly recommend it to brighten up the flavors of the final dish.

Categories     Tuna

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (5 ounce) can tuna in olive oil (canned chicken or salmon can be used instead)
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans (also called chickpeas)
1 chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped red onion (or use Vidalia onion)
4 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped
1/4 cup loosely packed sliced pepperoncini pepper, chopped
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 chopped parsley (or use 1 cup chopped parsley if you don't like cilantro)
2 tablespoons roasted red peppers, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil, I use garlic infused evoo
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon lemon, herb spice blend (like McCormack Perfect Pinch Lemon Herb or Mrs. Dash Savory Lemon with Herbs Table Blend)
1/4 teaspoon dried Mediterranean oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • In small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Mediterranean oregano, (pinch or rub dried oregano to release more flavor) lemon herb seasoning, garlic powder, turmeric, paprika and pepper to make the dressing.
  • Put garbanzo beans in colander and rinse well with cold water, let drain. Pat dry with paper towels if needed so the beans are relatively dry.
  • Put the drained & dried beans into a bowl and mix in a quarter of the dressing. Let beans marinate while you prep the other ingredients.
  • Wash the cilantro and parsley, spin dry, and finely chop. (You can use just parsley if you are not a cilantro fan.) Chop the red pepper and red onion. Chop roasted red pepper and peperoncini. Blot the sun dried tomatoes with paper towel to remove excess oil then chop.
  • Drain oil from tuna and discard. Put tuna in mixing bowl and break apart with a fork a little, keeping it slightly chunky. Add the marinated beans and dressing, red pepper, red onion, sun dried tomatoes, roasted red pepper and peperoncini, chopped cilantro and parsley and combine gently. (Don't over-mix.).
  • Mix additional dressing into salad. If you prefer your salads a little more dry you may not want all the dressing. Chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes to meld flavors. Season to taste with more fresh ground black pepper and sea salt and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest tuna you can find. Look for tuna that is bright red in color and has no fishy smell.
  • If you are using canned tuna, be sure to drain it well and flake it with a fork before adding it to the salad.
  • Red onion can be sharp, so if you don't like strong flavors, you can soak the onion in cold water for 30 minutes before adding it to the salad.
  • Parsley adds a fresh, herbaceous flavor to the salad. If you don't have parsley, you can substitute cilantro or basil.
  • A good quality olive oil is essential for this salad. Look for an oil that is extra virgin and has a fruity flavor.
  • Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar if you like.

Conclusion:

Tuna red onion and parsley salad is a light and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is also a very healthy salad, as it is packed with protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins. If you are looking for a delicious and healthy salad to add to your repertoire, this is the one for you.
