Number Of Ingredients 15

6 new red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
1 red pepper
1 pound haricots verts, stems trimmed
1 1/2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves
2 1/2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch (5 cups) spinach leaves, chopped
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 stalks celery, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 cucumber, seeded, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced
2 six-ounce cans water-packed solid white tuna, drained
6 Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; roast until browned, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, roast red pepper over gas burner until charred on all sides. Place in a bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Set aside for 15 minutes. Remove skin and seeds; cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Fill a bowl with water and ice; set aside. Bring a pot of water to a boil; add haricots verts. Cook until bright green and just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain; transfer to the ice bath until cool. Drain again, and set aside.
  • Place basil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons warm water in a blender, and puree until smooth. With motor running, add olive oil, and puree until combined. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine spinach, tomatoes, celery, cucumbers, scallions, roasted potatoes and peppers, reserved basil puree, and tuna; toss. Divide haricots verts among six plates; top with tuna salad. Garnish with chopped Kalamata olives, and serve.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. The roasted potato wedges were good, but the tuna salad was a bit dry.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time. The roasted potato wedges were good, but the tuna salad was a bit too fishy.
