"Potato Salad" (سلطة البطاطس)

One of my favourite recipes!
I always like to prepare it next to anything I grill.




Ingredients needed:

3 large potatoes.
1 green pepper.
1 red onion.
1/2 bunch of parsley.
1 small can of sliced black olives.
2 small cans of tuna (225gm/each).
3 lemons.
Vinegar.
Oil.
1 tbsp mustard.
Salt & pepper.
1 boiled egg cut into thin slices.


Directions:
  1. You can either peel the potatoes before or after you boil them. Most important thing is that you don't overcook them.
  2. Cut then the unpeeled potatoes into cubes (not too small).
  3. Chop 1/2 bunch of parsley.
  4. Cut 1 red onion and 1 green pepper into small cubes.
  5. In a big bowl put the potatoes, onion, green pepper, the parsley and pour over the black olives.
  6. In another bowl, season the 2 cans of tuna with 2 lemon juice, vinegar (about 1 tbsp), salt and pepper.
  7. Then add the tuna to the potato salad.
  8. Add 2 tbsp mustard and another sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  9. Now you can pour some oil (olive or corn) over the salad, it makes it easier in stirring!
  10. Taste it, sometimes it needs a third lemon! If so then squeeze it over and stir all again.
  11. At the end you can cut a boiled egg into thin slices and decorate the surface of the salad.
  12. Some parsley leaves on top would make it look ever nicer.

I hope you enjoy it!
