Provençal Potato Salad with Tuna Dressing

Drescription

Provençal Potato Salad with Tuna Dressing blends tender boiled potatoes and green beans with a light, rich tuna-mustard dressing infused with lemon, olive oil, capers, and fresh herbs. A vibrant, satisfying salad perfect for summer or picnics.

Ingredients

3 yukon gold potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds), peeled and quartered
2 zucchini (about 8 ounces), halved lengthwise and slice 1/2-nch thick
one (5-ounce) can tuna in oil
2 tablespoons greek yogurt or sour cream
1 tablespoon capers
1 small garlic clove
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 medium red onion, chopped
2 plum tomatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup olives (i used niçoise), chopped
1/4 cup torn basil leaves

Directions

Place a steamer basket in a saucepan filled with an inch of simmering salted water. Add potatoes to the steamer basket and cook, covered, until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add zucchini and steam until tender, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
While potatoes and zucchini cook, divide tuna into two portions (including oil) and place half of it in a blender jar. Add yogurt, capers, garlic, vinegar and oil; season with salt and pepper. Blend dressing until smooth.
Transfer warm vegetables to a bowl with onion, tomato, olives, and remaining tuna; toss with dressing to coat. Scatter basil leaves over salad and toss gently.

Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken

Add this super-bright and citrusy lemon-herb roasted chicken to your weeknight routine, and you won’t be disappointed. The lemon slices in the bottom of the pan release their juice, shaping the base for the buttery, tangy sauce that’s drizzled on top. The light anise flavor of tarragon pairs well with chicken, but feel free to swap it out for another fresh herb like chives or parsley.

Crispy Pesto Chicken with Whipped Feta & Tomatoes

These crispy chicken cutlets, flavored with pesto and topped with juicy burst tomatoes, are served with creamy whipped feta. Seek out feta cheese in brine and crumble it by hand for the best results. While we love the vibrant yellow color and sweet flavor of Sungold cherry tomatoes, any cherry or grape tomato will work well here.
