In hot climates we crave fresh foods and easy recipes, just like this salad. Most of the ingredients already come prepared and we only have to mix them and add a little sazón. The traditional recipe only uses mayonnaise as a dressing, but after you try this version made with table cream I think you’ll consider always making potato salad with tuna this way!

8 large potatoes
2 cans of tuna
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 can of small peas, such as the sugar snap variety
2 boiled eggs, chopped
1 can of table cream
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon vinegar
Salt, to taste
3 stems of cilantro, finely chopped

Directions

1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium-sized cubes (if the cubes are too small they will break apart while being cooked.)
2

Place the potatoes and salt in a pot with water and cook until firm, but not too soft. When ready, drain the potatoes and carefully transfer to a deep serving dish. Let cool.
3

Add the diced bell pepper, tuna, peas and chopped egg to the dish with the potatoes.
4

In a separate bowl, combine the cream, mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar. Add salt if necessary.
5

Dress the potato salad with the sauce and place the completed dish in the refrigerator until well chilled.
6

When time to serve, sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the salad.
