Preparation
- 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.
- 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!
