"This tastes like summer. The salty tuna, the bitter Radicchio... the sweet summer tomatoes and the sour from vinegar. Perfectly balanced."

directions

  • Season the vinegar and lemon juice with salt and pepper in a medium-size bowl.
  • Shave the red onion and radishes, as thin as possible, and add to the seasoned vinegar. Let sit for 1/2 an hour, or so.
  • Trim and dice the green beans (slice into small rounds). Blanch them in boiling, salted water for 1 1/2 minutes and then shock them in ice water. Drain. Place in large bowl. The following ingredients go into this bowl.
  • Trim and dice the fennel bulbs, discarding the tough core. They should be small like the green beans.
  • Peel and dice the carrots (again, small).
  • Halve the tomatoes, finely shred the radicchio and dice the cucumber.
  • Finally, add the rinsed garbanzos, the Quinoa (I keep cooked on hand to throw in soups and salads), the tuna and fresh herbs. Toss lightly and dress with the onion and radish "vinaigrette".

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

So, a bit about me: I love to eat, love to cook and am married to a chef (lucky me). I have recently recovered from Thyroid issues and adult-onset food allergies. My husband and I welcomed our first child into this world in July. I had a hard pregnancy and spent most of it on bedrest. I gained 65 pounds. I've decided to chronicle my weight loss through recipezaar and also include some baby food recipes as I come up with them. My Favorite Cookbook: <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/47660">Canning Recipes</a></li> This is from Sharon123--my first zaar aquaintance. I prepared serveral of her "jar" recipes as Christmas gifts and they were such a hit. This is the cookbook that sold me on this site! We even used Sharon123's Viennese Beet Preserves at our wedding reception!
