Experience the vibrant flavors of our Salad Nicoise, a classic French dish that beautifully combines tender greens, ripe tomatoes, crisp green beans, and briny olives, all topped with succulent seared tuna and hard-boiled eggs. Drizzled with a zesty vinaigrette, this refreshing salad offers a delightful balance of textures and tastes, making it the perfect choice for a light yet satisfying meal.

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.

Cook the Potatoes and Green Beans

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.

Boil the Eggs

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

Prepare the Dressing

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.

Assemble the Salad

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