Hi,
I have had a wonderful tuna salad at a local Italian restaurant, and the chef isn't giving up any secrets!
It's unlike tuna salad with mayo and celery (etc.) - this one seems to have finely sliced fresh basil in it, as well as a dressing that doesn't quite taste like mayo (olive oil and...?). It's quite delicious.
The restaurant serves it as a lunch dish - a generous scoop over a plate of lettuce. There are quarterd hard boiled eggs, sliced tomatoes, roasted red peppers and thinly sliced red onion on the plate, as well.
He also serves a side of dressing that tastes like balsamic vinegar emulsified with...? olive oil - I'm not sure, but this is really delicious, too.
I'd love to make this. Anyone have any ideas.
