Salad Nicoise
You will need: ½ iceberg lettuce,
6 cherry tomatoes,
2 inches of cucumber,
1 cup green beans,
1 egg,
Char-grilled tuna steak or tinned tuna,
French salad dressing,
Salt & Pepper to taste,
What you do with all this:
Chop the green beans into lengths of around an inch long. Cook them in boiling water until they are as soft or as crunchy as you like them.
Hard boil an egg (you can do this in the same pan as the green beans).
Chop the lettuce up quite finely and cover the plate with it.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in two and place them around the edge of the plate.
Dice the cucumber and sprinkle this over the lettuce, add the cooked green beans when they have cooled.
Quarter the hard boiled egg and arrange it nicely around the plate.
Add French dressing to taste (see the extras recipe section).
Place the char-grilled tuna steak (cook raw tuna on the BBQ or on a skillet or just place it under a normal grill) or the tinned tuna in the middle of the plate.
TIP 1 - Salmon niçoise is becoming popular as an alternative to tuna. Just use a salmon steak or tinned salmon instead of tuna.
