Have a lot of ripe tomatoes and peppers in my garden, so I made this recipe
serves 4
4 tuna steaks
4 medium tomatoes, quartered
1 cucumber, peeled and chipped
1 green pepper, diced in large dice
1 red pepper, diced in large dice
3-4 scallions, chopped
1 tblsp salt
lettuce
2 hard boiled eggs
anchovies
black olives
dressing:
1 tblsp balsamic vinegar
2-3 tblsp red wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic, put through a press
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tblsp olive oil
1/4 cup basil
salt and pepper to taste
combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and scallions in a bowl. add the salt and toss gently. cover and let sit while preparing the rest
mix the vinegars and garlic for the dressing and add the yogurt, oil and pepper and mix well. cut up the basil very fine and add it to the dressing. stir well.
cook the tuna to taste.
drain the salted vegetables and wash off the salt. wash and drain the lettuce and cover the bottom of a plate with some lettuce. put some of the mixed vegetables on top of the lettuce, then some of the dressing, and then a couple anchovies and a few olives. put the tuna on top and serve.
an alternative: make some tapenade and serve on the side in place of the olives and some of the anchovies.
