Units
Scale
- 1 lbs (454 g) tri-colored fingerling potatoes
- 0.5 cups (118 ml) cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 0.5 cups (118 ml) green bell pepper, diced
- 10 pitted green olives, halved
- 0.25 cups (59 ml) flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 2-3 tbsp sherry vinegar
- Drizzle of olive oil
- 1 can (around 4 oz) Spanish tuna in oil, drained
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, shelled and halved
- 8 boquerones (Spanish white anchovies)
Instructions
Cook the Potatoes
- Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the fingerling potatoes and cook for about 4-5 minutes until tender but firm. Drain and let cool before slicing into coins.
Prepare the Eggs
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove from heat and cover. Let stand for 8 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to chill, then peel and halve.
Prepare the Salad Base
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, quartered cherry tomatoes, diced green bell pepper, and halved green olives.
Dress the Salad
- Drizzle olive oil and sherry vinegar over the vegetables. Add chopped parsley and toss everything together until well coated.
Add the Tuna
- Flake the Spanish tuna and gently fold it into the salad to distribute evenly without breaking the chunks too much.
Assemble the Dish
- Arrange the salad on individual plates. Top each serving with two halves of a hard-boiled egg and a couple of boquerones.
Final Touches
- Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality Spanish olive oil.
- If you don’t have boquerones, substitute with capers or another briny element like Kalamata olives.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; the potatoes may absorb some of the dressing.
