Directions

  1. Boil potatoes, skin on, until cooked through, about 20 minutes, or until fork tender.
  2. Allow to cool enough to touch and peel.
  3. Dice potatoes.
  4. In a large bowl, toss in shrimp, tuna, chopped egg and vegetables lightly.
  5. Whisk garlic mayo salt, pepper and vinegar together.
  6. Fold 1/2 cup into salad, a little more if it looks dry.
  7. Spread salad into a shallow dish (I usually use a casserole dish).
  8. Spread remaining garlic mayo over salad, and garnish around the edges with the lettuce, and in the center with reserved ingredients.
  9. Allow to chill in refrigerator while flavors meld.
  10. This can be made a few days before, just garnish the salad the same day, using freshly chopped lettuce.
