Salad Niçoise Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Potatoes

   In a pot of boiling salted water, add the organic potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool, then slice into rounds.

2. 2

   Blanch the Green Beans

   In the same pot of boiling water, add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again and set aside.

3. 3

   Sear the Ahi Tuna

   Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the ahi tuna steaks with salt and black pepper. Sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer if desired. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.

4. 4

   Prepare the Salad Dressing

   In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

5. 5

   Assemble the Salad

   In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, gem tomatoes, green beans, and parsley. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to combine.

6. 6

   Serve

   Plate the salad and top with sliced seared ahi tuna. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
