Ingredients:
For the Salad:
1 pound (450g) baby potatoes, halved
2 cans (5 ounces each) canned tuna in water, drained
1 cup green beans, trimmed and blanched
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 boiled eggs, quartered
1/4 cup black olives, pitted and sliced
For the Dressing:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let them cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt and black pepper. Set the dressing aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, drained tuna, green beans, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, boiled eggs and black olives.
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly. Ensure that the flavours meld together beautifully.
Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavours to meld and intensify. When ready to serve, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil, if desired.
