Salade Nicoise

Made using tasty white tuna, this mouthwatering salad is full of healthy omega-3s.

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 3 tablespoons sherry-wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  • Coarse salt plus freshly ground pepper
  • Pinch of sugar
  • 1/2 cup safflower oil
  • 1/2 pound green beans, preferably haricots verts
  • 1 pound small red potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, coarsely chopped
  • 1 rib celery, very thinly sliced on the bias
  • 4 large eggs
  • 8 cups mixed lettuces, such as frisee, romaine, red leaf, and arugula
  • 2 medium tomatoes, cored and cut into wedges
  • 2 (6.4-ounce) packages albacore white tuna in water
  • 1/2 cup Nicoise olives (about 3 ounces)

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, shallot, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and sugar. Slowly whisk in oil until well combined; set dressing aside.
  2. Prepare an ice-water bath and set aside. Bring a medium saucepan filled with water to a boil. Lightly salt water and return to a boil. Add green beans and cook until bright green and slightly tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to ice-water bath. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon dressing and toss to coat; set aside.
  3. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat; immediately reduce to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool. Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces and transfer to a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon dressing and toss to coat. Gently fold in capers, dill, and celery; season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  4. Place eggs in a small saucepan with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; immediately cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 8 minutes. Drain and run eggs under cold, running water until cooled. Peel, halve lengthwise, and set aside.
  5. Divide lettuce evenly between 4 plates. Arrange green beans, potato mixture, eggs, tomatoes, tuna, and olives over lettuce. Drizzle with remaining dressing and serve immediately.
