Another one of my favourites I thought I ought to share: Salade Nicoise - serves 1 50g new potatoes 50g green beans, trimmed 100g fresh tuna, grilled or canned tuna 5 large cos lettuce leaves 3 plum tomatoes 1 tbsp capers 4 anchovy fillets, drained 6 black olives 1/2 small red onion chopped 5 basil leaves, torn into strips Dressing: 2tbsp olive oil 2tsp balsamic vinegar Steam or boil potatoes and beans until tender. Arrange lettuce on place Whisk together dressing ingredients Slice tomatoes and put in bowl. Chop capers and anchovies and add to bowl Halve potatoes, add to bowl along with beans, onion and basil Sprinkle dressing over ingredients and toss to coat evenly. Allow salad to stand for a few minutes so the flavours infuse Spoon over lettuce and season to taste Break the runa into walnut sized chunks and scatter over the top. Yummy! |
