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!
