Tuna Nicoise Salad Recipe

1. 1

   Prepare the Eggs

   In a pot, bring water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and boil for 9-10 minutes. Remove, cool under cold water, peel, and set aside.

   Cook the Haricot Verts

   In the same pot, add the haricot verts and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green. Drain and rinse under cold water.

   Sear the Ahi Tuna

   Season the ahi tuna with salt and black pepper. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the tuna for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or longer to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.

   Fry the Capers

   In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the capers and fry until crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
