Ingredients

  • 1 lb new potatoes

  • 1 5 oz can, solid-pack tuna in water, drained
  • 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 2 Tbs red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbs olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

  • Scrub potatoes with a vegetable brush under cold running water. Cut each potato into quarters.
