Spanish salad with tuna and potatoes

Color, texture and taste under Spanish-style dressing. A fragrant and hearty potato salad with an interesting aftertaste from the dressing. I foresee opinions that this is an ordinary Nicoise. It would seem so, but no! This is a self-sufficient and unlike anything fresh salad with a Mediterranean touch.
