Description

For this Tuna Nicoise Salad, I include the following ingredients: Canned tuna (I generally prefer wild yellowfin tuna) Jammy 6-minute eggs Tomatoes Olives: I usually break with tradition and use a combination of (Italian) green Castelvetrano olives and (Greek) Kalamata olives Boiled baby potatoes or fingerling potatoes Blanched green beans Marinated artichoke hearts English cucumber Anchovy Dijon herb vinaigrette Fresh herbs such as tarragon, chives, and dill Maldon salt flakes Other complementary additions that you might consider are: Salad greens Blanched or roasted asparagus Spring peas Marinated or grilled mushrooms Marinated peppers Shallots Carrots Avocado Radish Capers Cannellini beans or Cassoulet/Tarbais beans Alternative tinned or smoked fish such as trout or salmon Fresh seared or grilled fish such as tuna or cod How to make perfectly jammy, 6-minute eggs I prefer to use jammy, 6-minute eggs in this Tuna Nicoise Salad rather than the traditional hard-boiled eggs
