Tuna Nicoise Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Eggs

   Place eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes. Once cooked, cool them under cold water, peel, and cut in half.

2. 2

   Blanch the Haricot Verts

   Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add haricot verts and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and plunge into ice water to stop cooking.

3. 3

   Sear the Ahi Tuna

   Season the ahi tuna filets with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat and add a little oil. Sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes per side for medium-rare, then remove from heat and slice thinly.

4. 4

   Fry the Capers

   In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and fry the capers for about 2 minutes until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel.

5. 5

   Assemble the Salad

   In a large bowl, combine baby greens, artichoke hearts, chopped tomato, haricot verts, and sliced tuna. Top with halved eggs and fried capers.

6. 6

   Dress the Salad

   Drizzle with honey white balsamic dressing to taste and gently toss to combine.
