Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and boil the potatoes until a knife can be inserted with ease (around 8-10 minutes).
- Meanwhile, finely slice the red onion and fresh parsley, set aside. Add the olive oil (4 tbsp), lemon juice and zest to a bowl and whisk briefly to combine.
- Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly for a couple of minutes so they are not too hot but still warm.
- Transfer them to a large serving bowl and add the sliced onion, chopped parsley, capers (2 tbsp), tuna, and a good pinch of salt and pepper and toss everything together. Pour over the dressing and toss the salad again to coat it in the dressing, serve.
Notes
- Potatoes - waxy potatoes are best so go for something like baby potatoes, Yukon gold, Charlotte (UK), or fingerling potatoes.
- Tuna - use tuna in olive oil for best results and make sure it's the best quality you can afford.
- Seasoning - potatoes need a good amount of seasoning so remember to boil them in salted water then add a little more seasoning (salt and pepper) over the salad before serving.
- Leftovers - this salad will keep well in the fridge for 2-3 days.
