Salad Niçoise Recipe: A Classic French Delight

Ingredients

• 0.5 pound new potatoes, quartered
• 0.33 pound fresh green beans - rinsed, trimmed and blanched
• 1 (5 ounce) can tuna
• 0.5 onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup pitted nicoise olives
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 pound mixed salad greens
• 1 cup lemon vinaigrette
• 3 hard-cooked eggs, quartered
• 3 roma (plum) tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 4 anchovy filets
• 1 tablespoon capers

Instructions

1. Prepare all your ingredients for the salad.
2. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the potatoes until they are tender yet firm, approximately 15 minutes. Drain the cooked potatoes and allow them to cool completely.
3. In a large bowl, gently combine the cooled potatoes, blanched green beans, flaked tuna, sliced red onion, fresh parsley, and Niçoise olives. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld together.
4. In a salad bowl, toss the mixed greens with your favorite vinaigrette dressing. Arrange the chilled potato mixture over the dressed greens. Garnish the salad with quartered hard-boiled eggs, fresh tomato wedges, salty anchovies, and briny capers for the perfect finishing touch.
5. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing Salad Niçoise!
