Salad Nicoise
Ingredients
  • 8
    ounces fresh green beans (2 cups)
  • 12
    ounces tiny new potatoes, scrubbed and sliced (2 medium)
  • 1
    Nicoise Dressing or 1/2 cup bottled balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
  • Boston or Bibb lettuce leaves
  • 1 1/2
    cups flaked cooked tuna or salmon (8 ounces) or one 9-1/4-ounce can chunk white tuna (water-pack), drained and broken into chunks
  • 2
    medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 2
    Hard-Cooked Eggs, sliced
  • 1/2

  • 1/4
    cup thinly sliced green onions (2)
  • 4
    anchovy fillets, drained, rinsed, and patted dry (optional)

Directions

1. Wash green beans; remove ends and strings. In a large saucepan cook green beans and potatoes, covered, in a small amount of lightly salted boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes or just until tender. Drain; place vegetables in a medium bowl. Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours.

2. Prepare Nicoise Dressing. To serve, line 4 salad plates with lettuce leaves. Arrange chilled vegetables, tuna, tomatoes, eggs, and olives (if desired) on the lettuce-lined plates. Sprinkle each serving with green onions. If desired, top each salad with an anchovy fillet and garnish with tarragon. Shake dressing; drizzle over each salad. Makes 4 main-dish servings.
