FAQ (Questions and Answers) POTATO SALAD with Peppers and TUNA
What is the best way to cook the potatoes?
Potatoes should be boiled until they are tender but not too soft, so they hold their shape in the salad. It’s best to cook them with the skin on to prevent them from absorbing too much water, then peel and cut them into pieces once cooled.
What type of peppers are best for this salad?
Red and yellow peppers are ideal because they have a sweet flavor and a crunchy texture that balance well with the softness of the potatoes and the savoriness of the tuna.
How can I make the salad more flavorful?
To add more flavor, you can dress the salad with fresh herbs like parsley or basil, and add a splash of white wine vinegar or lemon juice. Adding olives, capers, or thinly sliced red onion can also enhance the taste.
What is the best way to store potato, pepper, and tuna salad?
The salad should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It keeps well for 1-2 days, but it is best consumed within 24 hours to ensure the flavors remain fresh and the vegetables crunchy.
