Nicoise Tuna Salad Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   In a pot of salted boiling water, add the potatoes and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.

2. 2

   Cook the Haricot Verts

   In the same pot, add the haricot verts and blanch for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and place in ice water to stop cooking.

3. 3

   Prepare the Eggs

   While the vegetables are cooking, hard-boil the eggs by placing them in a pot of cold water, bringing to a boil, then reducing heat and simmering for 9-12 minutes. Cool in ice water, then peel and quarter.

4. 4

   Assemble the Salad

   In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, haricot verts, cherry tomatoes (halved), black olives, and tuna. Toss gently to combine.

5. 5

   Make the Lemon Vinaigrette

   In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Drizzle over the salad and toss to coat.

6. 6

   Serve

   Top the salad with the quartered hard-boiled eggs and serve immediately.
