Since we ate a huge post-graduation luncheon at a restaurant, no one was particularly hungry. I went to the grocery story (since we were basically out of food) and got things for a simple supper of salad and bread.
Took five cloves of garlic and chopped them fine. Added about 2 tbs. of olive oil and the juice of one small lemon. Drained and broke up two cans of white meat tuna in water and mixed into the bowl with the garlic, etc. Let sit.
Tore, rinsed, and drained the lettuce—one head red leaf and one head green leaf. Chopped a half red pepper, half green pepper, and a whole cucumber. Also finely chopped fresh dill (about two tbs. chopped) and scallions (about ¼ cup chopped). Mixed all of the ingredients together with the tuna except a few pieces of red and green pepper, and some cucumber (for topping). Dressed with 2 tbs. sherry vinegar and 3 tbs. olive oil, salt and black pepper. Tossed. Sprinkled the peppers and cucumber on top.
Toward the end of this, I put a few pieces of Indian flat bread (Nan) in the toaster oven for about two minutes each to heat but not toast. This went on the table with prepared baba ghanoui spread I bought.
Put out some pan rustic bread with a few pieces of cheese we had left.
Cut up a very ripe cantaloupe that was bought today and stared the meal with this.
Salad, the breads, the dip, and cheese was just right.
