How to Make Nicoise Salad
- **Prepare the Vinaigrette:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 4 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, tarragon, and chives).
- **Cook the Ingredients (if necessary):** Hard-boil 2 large eggs for 8 minutes. If using green beans, steam or blanch them until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
- **Assemble the Salad:** Arrange a bed of 4 cups mixed lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Gently toss together 1 can (5 ounces) tuna in olive oil, drained; 1/2 cup cooked green beans; 2 hard-boiled eggs, quartered; 1/2 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved; 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion; 2 cloves garlic, minced; and 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives.
- **Dress and Garnish:** Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad (or toss gently). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the remaining olives and any additional garnishes (such as capers or anchovy fillets) artfully on top.
- **Serve:** Serve immediately with crusty bread and your favorite wine.
