Instructions

  • Make Dill Walnut Pesto: Add all pesto ingredients into food processor and blend.  Add more lemon juice if you like it tangier and add salt to taste.
  • Make Salad Base:  Place radicchio in a bowl and toss with 2-3 Tbsp pesto.  Place on a large platter as the base of the salad.  Into same bowl add orange pepper, beans, and 2-3 more Tbsp of pesto.  Mix and place on top of radicchio.  Add tuna as the top layer and add more pesto if needed and crushed red pepper flakes if you like it spicy.

Notes

  • You can use a mortar and pestle, blender, or chop the ingredients very finely if you don't have a food processor.
  • Trying to save time?  Top Salad w/ Dill & Cheese instead of making the pesto OR buy a pre-made pesto from the grocery store.
