Tuna & Red Pepper Salad

Pair with Manzanilla

This brightly coloured salad and fresh & vibrant - exactly like a Manzanilla which is why it pairs together so beautifully. The salty tang of the capers working with the gentle acidity of the Sherry vinegar alongside the sweetness of the red peppers makes this a tricky dish to find the perfect wine partner but with Manzanilla, you have it!

Good Quality Tuna in Olive Oil, drained
1 small or half large 
Sweet Onion, very finely sliced
Hard Boiled Eggs, each chopped into 12

Capers and Black Olives
Lots of 
Sherry Vinegar to taste
Lashings of 
Extra Virgin Olive Oil to taste
Lots of 
Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions

Mix everything together in a bowl, leaving the eggs till last so that they don't break up too much. Leave to allow flavours to infuse. It can be made the previous day and kept in the fridge but should always be eaten at room temperature.
