Aussie Tuna Summer Salad

"A light Salad for the summer, a complete meal in itself. Tasty and refreshing. I made this one time when the temperature was far too high to turn the stove/oven on...it was 42C on that day... It was delicious and made me feel full but not that awful "heavy full" that one can't bear in Summer."

  1. Good on ya mate. Fair dinkum tucker. Use a heavy hand on the balsamic and basil.
     
  2. Great salad - we all had second helpings. Loved the dressing! Definately a keeper! Thanks so much!
     
  3. i used the pasta instead of the potatoes and added more oil and vinegar to the dressing to season it up. was very good and indeed didn't provide that 'too full' feeling. it makes a lot of salad.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hey I am just a simple guy (born in 1974, january...makes it easier to work out the age thing). I like life a lot. I have worked in Hospitality and never learned a single recipe from it. What I did learn, just by paying attention, is that cooking is about flavour and procedure. it all comes down to this. I happen to be Gay, but this is of no consequence.. I don't exactly know why I declared this... maybe it's because everyone thinks gay guys are good cooks... trust me, most are just average at cooking. If I had a month off, Idealy I would go abroad and see the world.
