Ingredients
- 5-6 baby potatoes boiled and halved
- 1 cup green beans trimmed and blanched
- 3 cups romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 3-4 hard-boiled eggs peeled and quartered
- ¼ cup kalamata olives halved
- 1 can chunk of tuna in oil 10 ounces drained
Lemon Nicoise Dressing
- 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the baby potatoes in a large pot with salted water until tender. Drain, cool, and cut them in half.
- Blanch the green beans in salted boiling water until tender-crisp. Immediately drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.
- Arrange the romaine lettuce on a large salad plate. Layer the potatoes, green beans, cherry tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, kalamata olives, and tuna on top.
- Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, sea salt, Dijon mustard, parsley, and cracked black pepper in a small bowl or jar. Mix well.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad, toss gently, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Tuna is traditional in a

- salad, but you can change up the protein. For a vegetarian twist, swap in some grilled salmon, chicken, tofu, or chickpeas.
- Add some extra crunch with a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts, almonds, or crispy fried capers.
- Don't skimp on the quality of your ingredients. Since this salad has so few components, each one really shines through. Spring for the good olive oil, the fancy olives, and the freshest produce you can find.
- This salad is best enjoyed freshly dressed, so hold off on adding the dressing until just before serving.
