Note
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The potatoes may absorb more dressing over time, so add extra dressing if reheating or serving cold.
Ingredient Substitutions: You can use canned salmon or mackerel instead of tuna. If tarragon vinegar is unavailable, use white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
Tip: For extra crunch, add some toasted walnuts or sunflower seeds to the salad.
Variation: Add diced cucumber or cherry tomatoes for a fresher, lighter version.
