LENTIL & TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, mustard and garlic together in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking as you go, until emulsified, then season to taste.

LENTIL AND TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Place the lentils, half the garlic, the bay leaf and the onion in a medium-size saucepan or soup pot. Add 1 quart water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and add salt to taste (about 1 teaspoon). Cover and simmer 30 minutes until the lentils are just tender. Remove the onion and bay leaf, and discard. Drain the lentils through a strainer set over a bowl.
• In a large bowl, combine the tuna, parsley, chives and drained lentils.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, remaining garlic clove and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk in the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the broth from the lentils. Toss with the tuna and lentils, and serve.

TUNA LENTIL SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together the lentils, tuna, black olives, sun-dried tomato, bell pepper, feta cheese, parsley, capers and chili peppers.Note: You can break up the canned tuna a bit before adding to the salad. I prefer chunkier pieces, but you can break up a little more if you like.
• In a jar, whisk together the shallot with olive oil and lemon juice until well incorporated. I didn't add any salt or black pepper to the vinaigrette because the salad itself has salty ingredients, but you can add some to taste if you wish.Tip: If using lemon zest (as in Step 4 below), always zest your lemon before juicing (it's easier to get the zest from the lemon that way).
• Pour vinaigrette over bowl of tuna lentil salad. Stir to combine.
• Transfer the salad to a serving dish, then sprinkle over lemon zest (if using). Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• Whisk together the mustard and tapenade in a small bowl.
• Add the vinegar and olive oil and whisk until the vinaigrette is well blended.
• Pour the dressing over the lentils and stir to blend.
• If you want to use the whole lemon, finely chop it; if you are using just the rind, cut it away from the pulp, discard the pulp, and chop the rind into small bits (Dorie uses the whole lemon).
• Stir the lemon and scallions into the salad.
• Drain the tuna and use a fork to flake it over the salad.
• Season very lightly with salt and generously with pepper, and toss.
• Taste, and if you think it needs it, stir in a little more olive oil.
• Can serve the salad now; bit it is better if you cover it and chill for a couple of hours, giving the flavors time to blend.
• Right before serving, taste again for seasonings and oil.
