Ultimate Salad Niçoise
Salad Nicoise with fresh tuna and anchovies is a traditional French Mediterranean dish.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 400 g fresh tuna steaks
- olive oil to try and make dressing
- balsamic vinegar
- 2-4 hard boiled eggs
- 250 g new potatoes
- 1 tbsp capers
- 40 g anchovies
- 12 pitted black olives
- 2 big tomatoes sliced
- 1/2 red onion sliced into thin half moons
- 100 g green beans topped and tailed
- Seasoning
- fresh salad leaves
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the tuna steaks for around 3 minutes each side until cooked through. Remove from the pan and flake into pieces.
- Meanwhile in separate pans boil the new potatoes until cooked and boil the eggs until they'll be just beyond a soft boil - admittedly I'm very bad at gauging this.
- Lightly cook the beans in a third pan.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and beans, peel the hard boiled eggs and cut into halves or quarters.
- In a large bowl arrange all of the ingredients before drizzing with a mix of oil and balsamic vinegar beaten together. Grind with black pepper and serve preferably outdoors!
