Niçoise Salad

4.4(30)

Niçoise salad is a classic composed French salad. Hearty enough for a main course, it’s filled with olive oil-packed tuna, runny eggs, tender potatoes and green beans, briny olives, crisp cucumber, and crunchy radishes and drizzled with a tangy Dijon vinaigrette.

How to Make It

1. Step
Make the salad: Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water. Set aside.
2. Step
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.
3. Step
Add the potatoes to a medium pot and cover with cold water. Add a large pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Cut the potatoes in half.
4. Step
Fill a medium pot with water and a large pinch of salt. Once the water begins to boil, add the green beans and cook until bright green and just fork-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain the beans in a colander and rinse with cold water.
5. Step
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.
6. Step
Lay the Boston lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Arrange the potatoes, cucumber, eggs, olives, tuna, green beans, and radishes on top.
7. Step
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and serve immediately.
8. Step
Enjoy!
