2 tablespoons (30 ml) mayonnaise
2 tablespoons(30 ml) capers, chopped
1 tablespoons(15 ml) lemon juice
2 teaspoons (10 ml) chopped fresh tarragon
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cans (7 oz, 195 g each) solid white albacore
tuna packed in oil, drained
1/4 cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons (30 ml) red wine vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) Dijon-style mustard
Lettuce leaves
Cherry tomatoes
Brine cured olives, such as Kalamata or Nicoise
1/4 cup (60 ml) sliced almonds
Combine the mayonnaise, capers, lemon juice, tarragon, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Gently toss the tuna in the mixture, trying to keep the chunks of meat from breaking up. Set aside. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper and toss the lettuce and tomatoes in the dressing. Place the lettuce and tomatoes on a platter or individual serving plates. Add the tuna mixture to the center of the plates. Arrange the olives around the tuna, and top the tuna with the almonds. Bon appetit from the Chef and staff at World Wide Recipes.
