It’s salad week at our house and I decided to put a twist on the classic potato salad by adding some not so traditional ingredients. How did it turn out? Scrumptious!
I started off with a simple potato salad base, boiled potato cubed, boiled eggs, mayonnaise and seasoning. I then added additional ingredients including grated cooked carrot, capers, garlic, parsley and of course the seafood. I was surprised at how tasty it came out after it had rested in the fridge overnight.
I used fresh tuna I grilled and let cool and then broke up into large pieces. I also used fresh de-shelled prawns I quickly poached in salted water. You can use any type of seafood, poached salmon or meaty white fish would work well, steamed mussels or clams would also make a great accompaniment.
If you want to go the surf and turf route, this salad goes really well with a nice grilled ribeye steak or for something a bit lighter a perfectly grilled chicken breast would also work really well. If you want an even lighter supper why not make lettuce wraps with my creamy seafood salad as a filler. Add some pickled red onion and you’re done!
