Tuna Salad Niçoise
Serves 4
Time 20 min
Niçoise salad is a classic French dish. Here, we use tuna instead of the traditional anchovies for a more accessible taste. Serve on its own for an excellent main-dish salad.
Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 1 pound small red potatoes
- 3/4 pound green beans, trimmed
- 2 (6.0-ounce) cans tuna packed in water, drained
- 1 cup prepared balsamic vinaigrette, divided
- 1 cup pitted Kalamata or Niçoise olives
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 teaspoons capers, drained
- 1 (5.0-ounce) package mixed baby greens
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, halved
- 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
Method
Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough cold water to cover.
Bring to a boil then turn down heat and simmer until tender, about 8 minutes.
Drain potatoes and cool slightly, then cut in half.
Cook green beans in boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes, then rinse under cold running water.
Put tuna, 1/2 cup of the vinaigrette, olives, tomatoes and capers into a large bowl and toss gently.
Place a generous handful of greens on each of 4 plates, then arrange potatoes, eggs and green beans on plates.
Top with the dressed tuna mixture, then drizzle with remaining 1/2 cup vinaigrette.
Garnish with parsley and serve.
