GREEN BEAN AND TUNA SALAD WITH BASIL DRESSING
Our idea of salad for dinner in the height of summer means minimal cooking, lots of fresh greens, and enough protein to feel filling. Here, that means quickly blanched green beans, canned white beans, parsley leaves, and Little Gem lettuce get tossed in a punchy basil dressing with oil-packed tuna and capers.

Steps:
- Heat a griddle pan until it gets really hot then put your asparagus in it. Place a heavy saucepan on top so that it presses the spears right down on to the bars. Cook them for 2 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they have lovely charred marks. Pop the asparagus on a board and chop them in half at an angle.
- Put the asparagus in a bowl with your tomatoes, half the basil leaves, the olives, a splash of oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season, then toss it all together and put it to one side while you get the fish ready.
- Rub your tuna steaks with a little bit of oil and season them. Sear them for about a minute on each side in the griddle pan for a rare steak - leave them for 2 minutes on each side if you prefer them cooked medium, or 3 to 4 minutes each side if you like them well done.
- Pound the remaining basil in a pestle and mortar then mix in the yoghurt. Season and add some more lemon juice to taste.
- Put the salad on a plate, then tear the tuna into strips and pop them on top. Spoon over some of the basil dressing and scatter over the baby basil leaves.

12 DRESSINGS THAT GO WELL WITH TUNA SALAD – HAPPY MUNCHER
From happymuncher.com
Cuisine AmericanTotal Time 10 minsCategory DressingPublished 2022-06-06
- Mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is one of the most common dressings used in tuna salad. It can be used either plain or flavored with various herbs and spices, like garlic, basil, dill, or paprika.
- Ranch Dressing. I like to use ranch dressing because it’s super easy to make, and the flavor of ranch dressing goes well with ingredients that are often found in this kind of salad.
- Basil Pesto Dressing. If you’re looking for something a little more unique than traditional mayonnaise or ranch dressing, try basil pesto! It has a bright green color that looks beautiful on top of your meal and tastes amazing with both fresh vegetables and fruit as well as fish or chicken breast meat (which is perfect for people who don’t eat red meat).
- Sesame Ginger Dressing. This dressing is perfect for a tuna salad that has a bit of crunch, like the one I sometimes make with matchstick carrots, red onion, and crispy lettuce.
- Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing. My go-to dressing for any sort of salad that has greens in it—and especially if you want to add some fruit or veggies (like tomatoes).
- Blue Cheese Dressing. I can also recommend using blue cheese dressing because blue cheese is so rich and flavorful that it really adds an extra kick to your tuna salad!
- Caesar Salad Dressing. This is also one of my favorite dressings. Just mix a bit of mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese together in a small bowl until they are well combined.
- Honey Mustard Dressing. This one is super easy to make: just mix about 1/4 cup of honey with about 1/2 cup each of olive oil and whole grain mustard (Dijon mustard works well too).
- Thousand Island. This dressing is great for tuna salad because it has a sweet-tart flavor and is made with mayonnaise, ketchup, and relish. It’s also got paprika and other spices that give it a nice bite.
- French Dressing. French dressing is another great way to dress up your fishy meal. The classic French dressing is made with oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, sugar and paprika (plus other ingredients depending on where you’re from!).
