Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 bunch purple or red kale, stems removed
1 bunch lacinato kale, stems removed
1 oil-packed anchovy fillet, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
Torn fresh purple basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spread the pine nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.
  • Fill a large bowl or pot with very hot tap water. Add the kale and stir for a few seconds just to slightly soften the leaves. Drain and squeeze well to dry. Gather and stack the kale leaves on top of each other on a cutting board, roll them up and thinly slice.
  • Mash the anchovy and garlic to a paste on a cutting board with the flat side of a knife. Transfer to a small bowl and add the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Whisk in the olive oil.
  • Toss the kale with the Parmesan and pine nuts in a salad bowl. Add just enough vinaigrette to coat, tossing well to combine. Top with the basil.

NIçOISE SALAD WITH BASIL AND ANCHOVY-LEMON VINAIGRETTE



Niçoise Salad With Basil and Anchovy-Lemon Vinaigrette image

Here, I've riffed on a classic French salade niçoise. I save the anchovy for the dressing, but anchovy admirers can add more for garnish - and anchovy avoiders can simply leave them out. The only cooking is boiling the potatoes and haricots verts, which can be done together in the same pot. You can add a boiled egg if you like. Dressing the vegetables while warm helps them absorb all the good flavors more deeply, making this a salad that manages to be intense and light at the same time. Which is just what you want in the steamiest time of the year.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 large garlic clove, minced
2 anchovy fillets, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt, more as needed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup olive oil, more as needed
1/4 pound baby red potatoes
1/2 pound haricots verts or green beans
1 tablespoon finely chopped basil
8 radishes, cut into wedges, or 1 slender cucumber, peeled and sliced
2 large, ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges, or 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 (6 or 7-ounce) cans tuna packed in olive oil, drained
4 hard-boiled eggs (optional)
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
Freshly cracked black pepper, for serving
Flaky sea salt, for serving
Torn basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the vinaigrette: Using the flat side of a knife, smash garlic clove, anchovy fillets and salt into a paste. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in lemon juice, zest and mustard. Using a whisk, slowly pour in olive oil while stirring constantly. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Place potatoes in a medium pot and cover them with 2 or 3 inches of cold water. Salt the water and bring to a boil. When water comes to a boil, continue cooking potatoes until fork tender, 10 to 15 minutes more. Add haricots verts during the last 1 minute of cooking (if using regular green beans, add them during the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking depending on how thin they are). Drain vegetables and let sit until cool enough to handle but still quite warm. Halve potatoes, transfer to a small bowl along with the haricots verts and dress everything to coat with some (but not all) of the vinaigrette. When completely cool, toss in chopped basil.
  • On a large platter or four individual plates, arrange potatoes and haricots verts, radishes or cucumbers, tomatoes and tuna, and hard-boiled eggs, if using. Scatter olives over the top and drizzle with remaining vinaigrette. Serve garnished with freshly ground black pepper, flaky sea salt and torn basil leaves.

Tips:

  • For a lighter vinaigrette, use half olive oil and half water.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving for a brighter flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and shallots.
