Classic Tuna Salad

Our annual Main Dish Salads Cooking Class on May 10, 2018, 6:00 – 9:30 p.m. is a great time to plan toward dining al fresco as summer moves in. In this class, you will learn how to make a classic vinaigrette in 5 minutes and learn how to build your own signature salad dressing from scratch. You will also learn to break down a head of lettuce in just a few minutes, making your salads fresher and saving you money compared to packaged salad mixes.

Recently, I served on the Hospitality Committee for the Culinary Historians of Southern California presentation by Barbara Fairchild, longtime Editor of Bon Appetit. We made the Classic Tuna Salad from Bon Appetit to offer during the tasting. I’ve made a lot of tuna salads in my day, but this tuna salad had a flavor punch that was so yummy, I kept wanting more, so we will be making the Classic Tuna Salad to go with our freshly cut lettuce.

Here’s what you will be tasting at the Main Dish Salads Cooking Class on Thursday, May 10, 2018 at the Holy Nativity Community Hall:

The Classic Tuna Salad on Lettuce Leaves with Baguette Slices from Bon Appetit
Tomato Orzo Salad with Cucumbers, Spinach and Feta from “Bring It” Cookbook for Potlucks by Ali Rosen
Arugula Salad with Lentils, Caramelized Red Onion and Bacon
Grilled Chicken with Peach Salad and Blue Cheese Dressing from Sara Moulton’s Home Cooking 101
Mediterranean Potato Salad with Za’atar, Olives and Artichoke Hearts from The Moosewood Restaurant Table
