Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Potatoes
  • 2 cans Canned Tuna in Olive Oil
  • 0.5 medium Red Onion
  • 0.5 cup Black Olives
  • 2 tbsp Capers
  • 0.25 cup Fresh Parsley
  • 3 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Aquafaba
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Place the 1.5 lbs potatoes in a large heavy-bottomed pot and cover them with cold water by at least 1 inch (2.5 cm). Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat (approximately 212°F / 100°C) and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Carefully drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly for 10-15 minutes.
  2. 2While the potatoes cool, drain the 2 cans of canned tuna in olive oil. Finely dice the 0.5 medium red onion and roughly chop the 0.5 cup black olives and the 0.25 cup fresh parsley. Once cooled, cut the 1.5 lbs potatoes into 1-inch (2.5 cm) bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl along with the drained tuna, diced red onion, chopped black olives, chopped parsley, and 2 tbsp capers.
  3. 3In a separate small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp aquafaba, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  4. 4Pour the prepared dressing from the small bowl over the ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Gently toss the salad with a spoon or spatula until all components are evenly coated with the dressing.
  5. 5For best flavor, cover the large mixing bowl and refrigerate the Tunisian Tuna & Potato Salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
