Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 cans Bumble Bee® Premium Albacore Tuna
4 large eggs
1 ½ cups French green beans, ends trimmed, cut into 1-1½ inch pieces
1 lb cavatappi pasta, cooked and drained
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
½ cup kalamata olive, pitted
¾ cup Radishes, stems trimmed, quartered and halved
4 oz crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaf, chopped
4 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons shallot, minced
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
⅓ cup lemon juice
⅓ cup champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
½ teaspoon sugar
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
⅓ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Fill a medium pot ¾ of the way with water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the eggs and cook for 6½--7 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath in a medium bowl. Remove the eggs from the pot and immediately transfer to the ice bath to cool for 3-4 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, peel and halve the eggs and set aside.
  • Boil the green beans in the same pot for 30-60 seconds, until bright green and slightly tender. Immediately transfer to the ice bath for 30-60 seconds to cool. Remove from the ice bath and blot dry with paper towels.
  • Drain the Bumble Bee® Premium Albacore Tuna.
  • Place it on a plate to begin to reflect texture.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cavatappi pasta, blanched green beans, grape tomatoes, Kalamata olives, radishes, Bumble Bee® Premium Albacore Tuna, feta, mint, and dill.
  • Make the dill-Dijon dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the shallot, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, champagne vinegar, dill, sugar, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and whisk until emulsified.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss until fully coated.
  • Divide the salad between serving bowls and top each portion with a halved jammy egg.
  • Enjoy!

CHARLIE BIRD'S FARRO SALAD



Charlie Bird's Farro Salad image

There are two essential steps to a stellar farro salad. The first is cooking the farro with enough salt and aromatics so that it delicious before you combine it with the rest of the ingredients. The second is to use very good olive oil in the dressing. This farro salad, from the restaurant Charlie Bird in SoHo, hits both these marks. The chef Ryan Hardy cooks the farro in apple cider seasoned with bay leaves and plenty of salt, which renders it good enough to eat on its own. But it's even better after he adds loads of olive oil, plus pistachio nuts and Parmesan cheese to make it even richer. Then, before serving, he folds in fresh vegetables to brighten it up: juicy tomatoes, radishes, arugula and plenty of herbs. There are many farro salads of this ilk out there. This is one of the best.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup farro
1 cup apple cider
2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
2 bay leaves
8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
70 grams Parmesan cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler (1/2 cup)
70 grams chopped pistachio nuts (1/2 cup)
2 cups arugula leaves
1 cup parsley or basil leaves, torn
1 cup mint leaves
3/4 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
1/3 cup thinly sliced radish
Maldon or other flaky sea salt, for finishing

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring farro, apple cider, salt, bay leaves and 2 cups water to a simmer. Simmer until farro is tender and liquid evaporates, about 30 minutes. If all the liquid evaporates before the farro is done, add a little more water. Let farro cool, then discard bay leaves.
  • In a salad bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Add farro, cheese and pistachio nuts and mix well. This salad base will keep for up to 4 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator (bring to room temperature before serving). Just before serving, fold in arugula, herbs, tomatoes, radish and flaky salt to taste.
