Salad Niçoise

July 29, 2013 by Zizi

Salad Niçoise is a French composed salad of tomatoes, green beans, tuna, hard-boiled eggs, Niçoise olives, and anchovies, dressed with a vinaigrette. It is served variously on a plate, platter, or in a bowl, with or without a bed of lettuce. The salad hails from Nice, on the Mediterranean Sea. This is a vegetarian version without tuna and anchovies (and minus the tomatoes).

It is an exceptional delicious and filling salad – with plenty going on. Come on… give it a try!

Salad Niçoise

Ingredients (serves 2)

For the salad
– 250 g new potatoes, cut the larger ones in half or smaller
– 100 g French beans, cut into roughly 2-3 cm lengths
– 2 organic eggs
– 1 medium head of a lettuce (I used Salanova), lettuce leaves washed and separated
– small handful of black olives, pitted
– salt, freshly ground black pepper

For the dressing
– 1 clove garlic, crushed
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1/2 teaspoon apple vinegar
– 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– a pinch of salt

Method

Cook the potatoes in salted water for 8-12 minutes until tender, adding the beans for the last 4 minutes. Drain, tip into a bowl and leave to cool.

Cook the eggs in a pan of water for 7 minutes. Leave to cool, then peel and quarter the eggs.

To make the dressing, put all the ingredients into a small bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk until emulsified.

In a bowl add the potatoes, the beans and some of the dressing. Toss gently together.

In another bowl toss the lettuce leaves with a little of the dressing. Arrange the lettuce, potatoes and beans on a serving plate and distribute the olives and eggs over the salad. Trickle over the remaining dressing and grind over some black peper. Serve straight away!
