Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cans Blue Harbor Wild Albacore Tuna
  • 3 tbsp of my everyday dressing
  • 2 heads butter, Boston, or little gem lettuce or a mix (approx. 4 cups)
  • 1 cup green beans blanched
  • 8 small red potatoes boiled and cooked
  • 3 6-minute jammy hard boiled eggs
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
  • 3 Persian cucumbers sliced lengthwise using a mandolin
  • 1-2 avocados halved and cut into slices
  • 1/4 cup red onion sliced thin
  • 1/3 cup kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup dill roughly chopped
  • small handful Caper berries halved
  • 1/3 cup more of Everyday dressing to dress the rest of the salad

Method
 

  1. There is only a little to this except just some beautiful assembly and arranging.
  2. Start by making a batch of my everyday dressing - heavy on the dill! (linked above in the ingredient list)
  3. Open and drain your tuna, pour a tbsp of the dressing into each can, and let it marinate while you assemble the salad.
  4. The first step is to prep everything: wash and dry the lettuce, blanch the green beans, boil and strain the potatoes, hard boil the eggs, halve the tomatoes, thinly mandolin slice the cucumber + onion, strain the kalamata olives and give them a rough chop, slice the caper berries in half, de-pit and slice the avocado, coarse chop the dill.
  5. Once everything is fully prepped it makes it easier to imagine what the larger salad will look like -- Now assemble!
  6. I love separating everything into its little sections, but you can layer it and have fun - use your heart and make it pretty!!!
