Tasty Salad Nicoise

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!
