    How to Make Tunisian Salad

    1. Prepare Harissa Dressing

    To start, prepare your dressing by whisking together the harissa in a large bowl.

    2. Dress the Lettuce

    Next, add the lettuce leaves to the dressing, seasoning them lightly with salt. Toss them gently in the bowl until each leaf is glistening and lightly coated.

    3. Arrange the Salad

    Once your lettuce is ready, arrange the dressed leaves on a large platter, creating a fresh and inviting bed for the rest of your ingredients.

    4. Add Tuna and Eggs

    Take the canned tuna, drained of excess oil, and arrange it over the lettuce. Follow with the halved hard-cooked eggs, placing them gently to maintain their shape.

    5. Add Olives and Potatoes

    Scatter the oil-cured Moroccan olives and the halved Yukon potatoes across the platter, adding a variety of textures and flavors.

    6. Garnish with Preserved Lemon

    For a final touch, top the tuna with slices of preserved lemon, adding a burst of citrusy brightness that complements the richness of the other components.
