C – I am so glad the tuna confit worked out.
Now, on to making something with it. This salad was what started the idea to make tuna confit. Jim went to Cafe Rouge and loved it. When we went another time, I wish ordered this, instead of what I really ordered (that story later on in the week).
I wouldn’t have been disappointed with this salad.
It’s a very French salad, Jim says. It made sense. Capers, olives, lemon and raisins really made it unique. The flavors of salty, sweet and a bit tart combined really well. Of course, the best part was the tuna confit. Everything was delicious.
It’s everything I like in a salad. A few tasty lettuce leaves. A lot of interesting components like raisins and olives. A dressing that isn’t too heavy. Perfectly distributed throughout the salad.
Loved this salad. Be sure to get a bit of everything in one bite. It’s heavenly.
