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!
