Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Green Beans

    Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 5 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and place in ice water to stop cooking. Once cooled, drain again and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sear the Tuna

    Season the tuna steak with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the tuna steak and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes (halved), cooked green beans, black olives, diced red bell pepper, and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Arrange the salad on a large platter. Top with sliced tuna steak and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately.
