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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

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:

Flake the tuna well. This will help to ensure that the tuna salad is evenly mixed and has a good texture.
Add your favorite ingredients. There are many different ingredients that you can add to tuna salad, such as mayonnaise, celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, and pickles. Feel free to experiment until you find a combination that you love.
Season the tuna salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other seasonings that you desire.
Chill the tuna salad before serving. This will help to firm up the salad and make it more flavorful.
