Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounces red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
3 ounces thin green beans, trimmed
1 large egg
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 ounce Nicoise olives (about 12 olives), pitted and coarsely chopped
1 medium shallot, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 1/4 cup)
1 can (6 ounces) best-quality water-packed solid white tuna, drained
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
6 pieces baguette (6 inches long and 2 ounces each), split lengthwise
3 small tomatoes, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes with 2 inches of cold water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes. Drain potatoes, and let cool completely; set aside.
  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Fill saucepan with cold water, and bring to a boil. Add green beans; cook until bright green, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer green beans to ice-water bath to stop the cooking; let cool completely. Cut green beans into 1/2-inch pieces; set aside.
  • Refill ice-water bath; set aside. Fill a small saucepan with cold water; add egg. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat; cover, and let stand 11 to 12 minutes. Transfer egg to ice-water bath; let stand 2 minutes. Peel egg, and cut in half; discard yolk. Cut egg white into 1/2-inch pieces, and set aside.
  • Whisk together mustard and vinegar in a small bowl. Whisk in oil in a slow, steady stream; set vinaigrette aside. Put potatoes, green beans, egg, olives, shallot, and tuna into a large bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and salt; season with pepper. Drizzle vinaigrette over tuna mixture; gently stir to combine.
  • Using your hands, hollow out 1 half of each baguette piece, leaving a thin layer of bread. Arrange tomato slices over remaining half. Spoon 1/2 cup tuna salad onto hollowed-out half, and top with tomato-lined half.

TUNA SANDWICHES, NICOISE STYLE



Tuna Sandwiches, Nicoise Style image

This is a French-inspired tuna salad sandwich, which is an adapted recipe from Sara Moulton. Cook time does not include hard boiling the eggs (you could do that ahead of time).

Provided by LifeIsGood

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large eggs, hard boiled, cooled and peeled and chopped
1/4 lb green beans, trimmed
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 cup fresh dill leaves, chopped
6 large lettuce leaves, chopped (I use romaine or boston)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (I like Hellmans)
1/3 cup kalamata olive, drained and pitted
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
12 ounces solid tuna in water
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
8 slices of good bakery bread

Steps:

  • .Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the green beans. When the water comes back to a boil, take the green beans out and add to a bowl of ice water. Once they are cooled, drain them, pat dry and chop.
  • Combine the mayo, olives and lemon juice in a food processor and process until just about smooth. Transfer this mixture to a bowl.
  • Drain the tuna and stir it into the mayo mixture. Add the eggs, tomatoes, green beans, dill, and the salt and pepper (to taste) and mix together.
  • Toast the bread slices. Divide the tuna onto 4 slices of the bread, top with lettuce and remaining bread slices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the salad sandwich will be.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of bread. A hearty whole-grain bread or a crusty baguette are both good choices.
  • Make sure the tuna is well-drained before adding it to the salad. This will help to prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing. You don't want to overpower the other flavors in the salad.
  • If you're making the salad sandwich ahead of time, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it. It will keep for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

The Niçoise salad sandwich is a delicious and refreshing meal that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give the Niçoise salad sandwich a try.
