- 14 oz eggplant (round purple)

Preparation of Potato and Tuna Salad
To start, wash the potatoes well (it’s better if they are the same size) and boil them with the skin on, once they are well cooked, drain them and let them cool.
Clean and wash the eggplants and zucchinis, cut the eggplants into cubes and the zucchinis into rounds, put half of the oil in a pan and add only the eggplants, add a pinch of salt and cook for about 10 minutes on high heat while stirring.
After 10 minutes of cooking, add the zucchinis, continue cooking for another 5/6 minutes on high heat while stirring, once cooking is finished let them cool.
When all the ingredients are cool, assemble the dish: peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks, then place them in a bowl, add the cooked vegetables from the pan, the drained tuna, garlic, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, the remaining oil and the vinegar, mix until well combined, cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before consuming!
