How to make Tuna, White Bean and Red Potato Salad with Herb-Ca
Steam red potatoes (mine took about 30 minutes) and set aside to cool.
In a food processor, add garlic, parsley, basil, thyme, capers, almonds (or pine nuts) and a bit of olive oil (not all). Pulse until chopped and then add remaining olive oil and lemon juice. Pulse until desired pesto consistency comes together. Add salt and pepper. In a large bowl, combine tuna, beans, cooled potatoes and pesto. Toss and add more salt/pepper if needed. This is great at room temperature or chilled and can be made ahead 4 hours.
I love this recipe it reminds of something my mom made when I was a kid. unfortunately I've devoloped an allergy to fish and seafood. I wondering about using shredded chicken breast inplace of the tuna.
