Tomato, Tuna & Tarragon Salad

Category: SALADS

Ingredients
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 6-ounce cans chunk light tuna in olive oil, drained
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup packed coarsely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
8 cups torn lettuce or mixed greens
1 pound small ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges

Preparation
1. Place onion in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Drain.

2. Whisk mayonnaise, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add tuna, celery, tarragon and the drained onion; stir to combine. Serve on a bed of lettuce (or mixed greens) with tomato and lemon wedges.


Serves 4.

Tomatoes and tuna were meant for each other, and fresh tarragon seals the deal. Soaking the onion in cold water tames the heat and sweetens its taste.
