Salad Nicoise Recipe

Cook the Potatoes and Green Beans

In a large pot, add water and bring it to a boil. Add the new potatoes and cook for about 15-20 minutes until tender. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the green beans. Once done, drain and set aside to cool.

Boil the Eggs

In a separate pot, place the eggs and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and cover. Let them sit for 10-12 minutes. Afterward, cool them under cold running water, peel, and cut into quarters.

Prepare the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to taste until well combined.

Assemble the Salad

In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, green beans, cherry tomatoes, drained tuna, and black olives. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Top with quartered eggs and sprinkle fresh basil leaves.

Serve

Serve the salad at room temperature or chilled, and enjoy your Salad Nicoise!
