Niçoise Salad

featured in Our Fave Foods From Brooklyn Nine-Nine

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.

Preparation

  1. Make the salad: Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water. Set aside.
  2. 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. 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. 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. 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. Lay the Boston lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Arrange the potatoes, cucumber, eggs, olives, tuna, green beans, and radishes on top.
  7. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and serve immediately.
