When a friend of mine was raving about a tuna salad she'd recently made, I was envisioning old-school mayonnaise and canned tuna. So I got excited when she sent me the recipe and I realized we were dealing with an entirely different type of tuna salad. This version dresses seared fresh tuna in lime, soy, and wasabi powder for a tangy Asian flavor, which gets a creamy boost from diced avocado.The best part?

Give tuna salad a gourmet makeover by using fresh tuna instead of its canned counterpart. In this delicious dinner recipe, the tuna steak is seared in a fennel, black pepper infused olive oil. Grown up ingredients — capers, garlic, and black olives — are stirred into the mayonnaise based dressing.

Mayonnaise is considered one of those truly bad for you foods. There's about 100 calories in a tablespoon of what might just be America's favorite condiment.
With this in mind how are you going to satisfy your tuna fish fix?

You can make this rapid, healthy dinner salad in twelve minutes with ingredients from your pantry. Canned tuna and white beans get freshened up with cherry tomatoes, green beans, and lemon zest for a very Italian-style meal. Serve with a chunk of cheese, a hunk of crusty sourdough bread, and a chilled Pinot Grigio and finish it off with slices of cool watermelon for a relaxing and rewarding Friday night in.

Since PartySugar and I have been infatuated with salads this Summer, I thought it would be appropriate to pay homage to the French national holiday today with a specialty native to the Côte D'Azur region of France.
Salade Niçoise, or Niçoise salad, originated in the town of Nice, and is made with boiled new potatoes, steamed haricots verts (baby green beans), boiled eggs, local olives, cured anchovies, and tomatoes, tossed in a Dijon mustard vinaigrette and topped with tuna. I selected a recipe that uses some classic ingredients, but also incorporates a few unconventional flourishes — like seared tuna and caperberries — for a current twist.

March means it's time to start mixing Spring salads, and since artichokes are one of my must haves this month, allow me to tempt you with this big green bowl of Mediterranean flavors. This salad uses canned artichoke hearts, so you can make it even when the veggie isn't in season. The hearts still offer health benefits, including lots of fiber and B vitamins.

I'm a big fan of tuna canned in olive oil. I know there was a huge health craze and practically all of the tuna canners started canning their fish in water but I prefer the tuna canned in olive oil: to me it tastes better (YumSugar disagrees with me on this one, but says she rarely uses canned tuna and prefers the real stuff). If you have yet to try a recipe that calls for canned tuna in olive oil as an ingredient, I would recommend using a can of the good stuff to make today's special recipe.

Wrapping meat, poultry, or fish in bacon is a wonderful way to add smoky flavor and ensure moistness. Tuna cooks well with this technique because it's a fatty, firmer fish. Arranged over a salad of frisée and avocado, and dressed with a simple vinaigrette, this bacon wrapped tuna is delicious.

When it comes to panzanella — the classic Italian bread salad with tomatoes — I love every variation. While I've made it with heirloom tomatoes and arugula, I've never had the filling warm-weather dish with tuna and white beans.
But thanks to this recipe, I plan on doing so tonight!
