Grilled Tuna, Potato, and Green Bean Salad

It's true that necessity is sometimes the mother of invention. I came up with this salad recipe one day when I had leftover tuna, potatoes, beans…and wine. We really enjoyed it, but we had leftovers again- now of the salad. Lo and behold, we found out that it was even tastier the next day; proving that if leftovers are good, leftover-leftovers are double good!

Combine in a bowl:

Approx. 1- 1 1/2 lbs. new potatoes, steamed, cooled, and quartered

Approx. 1/2 lb. green beans, cooked crisp-tender, cooled, and cut in 1” pcs

Small-medium tuna steak, grilled, cooled and flaked

3-4 green (or other mild) onions, chopped

2 Tbsp. parsley, or carrot tops, chopped

2 Tbsp. dill, chopped (or 2 tsp. dried)

Whisk together:

1/2 c. olive oil

2 Tbsp. dry white wine

3 Tbsp. white wine vinegar

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to your taste

Pour dressing a little at a time into potato salad, and toss gently. You want it coated by not soaked. (You likely will have dressing leftover for another salad)

Serve on top of a bed of greens.
