Salami Potato Salad With Tuna Dressing Recipes

DELI-CIOUS POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, cool, and cut into chunks.
• Cook salami in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, about 5 minutes; drain off excess fat and allow to cool.
• Mix potatoes, eggs, apples, onion, and pickles in a large bowl.
• Stir salami, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, and paprika into the potato mixture. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

ITALIAN CHOPPED SALAD

Steps:

• Place the red onion in a small bowl and cover with cold water (this step keeps the onion's flavor but removes some of its harsh aftertaste). Let sit while you prepare the rest of the salad.
• Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a separate bowl and cover with hot water to rehydrate. Let sit while you prepare the rest of the salad.
• Peel the kale leaves off of the stems and discard the stems. Chop the leaves into very thin ribbons. You will have about 6 cups. Place in a very large mixing bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt. Grab the kale by big handfuls, massaging it with your hands until it turns dark green in color, feels softer, and is fragrant. Don't skip this step! It makes the kale tender and delicious.
• To the bowl, add the romaine, cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, cheese, salami (if using), pepperoncini, and olives.
• Mix up the dressing: in a large liquid measuring cup or small mixing bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients-olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, honey, oregano, salt, and pepper. Alternatively, you can shake all of the ingredients together in a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid.
• Drain the red onion and sun-dried tomatoes. Add to the bowl with the romaine mixture.
• If serving the salad all at once, drizzle enough dressing on to lightly coat it, then toss to combine (when in doubt, start with less dressing. It's easy to over dress a salad!). Or, if you are serving the salad over a series of days, toss the salad without the dressing to combine, then dress only the portion you plan to eat right away. Taste and add extra salt or pepper as desired.

ITALIAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the diced potatoes in a large stockpot and add enough water so that the potatoes are covered by 1 inch. Cook over medium-high heat until the water reaches a boil. Then reduce heat to medium to maintain the simmer, and continue cooking the potatoes for 5-8 minutes or until the potatoes pierce easily with a fork.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander and let cool for 20-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl (or shake vigorously in a mason jar) until evenly combined.
• Once the potatoes are ready to go, combine them in a large serving bowl with the dressing, arugula, mozzarella, tomatoes, artichokes, salami (if using), olives, onion and basil. Toss gently until evenly combined.
• Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed, to taste. Serve immediately, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Or cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1-2 hours and then serve the potato salad chilled.
• Refrigerate any leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days.

WARM POTATO & TUNA SALAD WITH PESTO DRESSING

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pan of boiling water, bring back to the boil and simmer for 8-10 minutes until tender.
• Meanwhile, mix the pesto and oil to make a dressing. Halve the tomatoes, drain and flake the tuna. Add the beans to the potatoes for the last 3 minutes of cooking time.
• Drain the potatoes and beans and tip into a salad bowl. Stir in the spinach so that it wilts a little in the warmth from the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Scatter the tomatoes and tuna on top, drizzle with the pesto and gently toss everything together.

MEDITERRANEAN TUNA, POTATO, OLIVE, AND FETA SALAD WITH GARLIC DRESSING

Steps:

• Separate garlic cloves, leaving skins intact. In a large kettle cover potatoes with salted water by 2 inches and add garlic. Simmer potatoes and garlic until potatoes are just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and garlic in a colander and, when cool enough to handle, cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Peel garlic and in a blender puree with water, vinegar, oil, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Potatoes may be prepared and dressing made 1 day ahead and chilled separately, covered.
• Cut beans into 1-inch pieces. Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook beans until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes for haricots verts or 6 minutes for regular green beans. In a colander drain beans and plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Pat beans dry. Cut bell pepper into 1/4-inch dice and halve cucumber lengthwise. Seed cucumber and diagonally cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Pit and chop olives. Vegetables and olives may be prepared up to this point 4 hours ahead and chilled separately, covered.
• Drain tuna and transfer with potatoes, beans, bell pepper, cucumber, and olives to a large bowl.
• Just before serving, toss salad with dressing and crumble feta on top.

POTATO SALAD WITH SALAMI

Steps:

• Peel potatoes, cut into 2 cm (pproximately 3/4 inch) cubes and cook in plenty of salted water for about 20-25 minutes. Cut salami slices into quarters or sixths, if desired.
• Rinse and shake dry scallions, cut into rings. Drain potatoes, combine with scallions and drizzle with vinegar. Add mayonnaise and salami and mix well. Season to taste and garnish with parsley, serve.

5 MINUTE ITALIAN SALAMI TORTELLINI SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the tortellini by heating a pot of water over medium high heat, salting the water until it tastes like salt water.
• Once the tortellini is soft and floats to the top of the water, strain and place in a bowl.
• Add all other ingredients including the oil with herbs from the cheese. Toss to coat and serve.
