Spanish Tuna and Potato Salad with Zesty Dressing

Fragrant and satisfying, with a bomb dressing! Spanish salad with tuna and potatoes turns out very appetizing with an interesting aftertaste. I foresee opinions that this is an ordinary Nicoise. It would seem yes, but no! This is a self-sufficient and unique salad with a Mediterranean touch.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Spanish tuna and potato salad? Prepare all ingredients before cooking. Boil the potatoes in their jackets until tender, cool and peel. Blanch green beans in boiling water for 3 minutes. Choose any salad, but with tender greens. Tuna is best served whole, boneless, rather than shredded.

Step 2

Step 2
According to the recipe, the salad is mixed in a common bowl. But you can lay out all the main ingredients on lettuce leaves, which are placed directly on the serving dish. So, wash the salad under running water and shake. Use your hands to tear it into small pieces. Cut the potatoes crosswise and then into slices.
