Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large eggs
kosher salt, to taste
12 oz new potato
6 oz green beans
½ head boston lettuce, leaves separated
⅓ english cucumber, thinly sliced
½ cup kalamata olive, pitted
1 can olive oil-packed tuna, flaked
½ cup radish, trimmed and halved
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons champagne vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the salad: Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water. Set aside.
  • Fill a small pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and carefully submerge the eggs in the water. Cook for 7 minutes, then transfer to the ice bath. Let the eggs cool for 5 minutes, then peel. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise.

  • Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the garlic, mustard, salt, pepper, and vinegar. Add the olive oil and whisk until smooth.
  • Lay the Boston lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Arrange the potatoes, cucumber, eggs, olives, tuna, green beans, and radishes on top.

Salade niçoise image

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Supper

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 new potatoes
50g green beans (or a small handful), trimmed and halved
3 eggs
2 Little Gem lettuces , quartered
50g pitted black olives
2 medium tomatoes (plum are good), quartered
145g can tuna in olive oil, drained, oil reserved (see below)
½ garlic clove
1 anchovy fillet (optional)
1 tbsp Dijion mustard
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
4 tbsp reserved olive oil from the tuna can (topped up, if needed)

Steps:

  • To make the dressing, mash the garlic and anchovy, if using, with a small pinch of salt on a board using the blade of a large knife, or in a pestle and mortar. Combine the paste with the mustard and vinegar, then slowly stir in the tuna oil. Set aside.
  • Tip the new potatoes into a large pan of cold salted water, ensuring they're well covered. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the beans and cook for 5 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge into a bowl of iced water to cool. Cook the potatoes for another 5 mins until tender, then drain and leave to cool. When cool enough to handle, halve or quarter them, and toss in a large bowl with 1 tbsp of the dressing. Leave to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, cook the eggs in a second pan of simmering water for 7½ mins, then transfer to a bowl of iced water to cool. Drain the beans and eggs, then peel and halve the eggs.
  • Tip the lettuce quarters, cooked beans and olives into the bowl with the potatoes. Add most of the remaining dressing and gently toss. Divide the salad between two bowls, and top with the tomatoes and eggs. Flake over the tuna, then drizzle with the rest of the dressing and season.
