8 new potatoes
50g green beans (or a small handful), trimmed and halved
3 eggs

Add the beans and cook for 5 mins, then remove with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge into a bowl of iced water to cool. Cook the potatoes for another 5 mins until tender, then drain and leave to cool. When cool enough to handle, halve or quarter them, and toss in a large bowl with 1 tbsp of the dressing. Leave to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, cook the eggs in a second pan of simmering water for 7½ mins, then transfer to a bowl of iced water to cool. Drain the beans and eggs, then peel and halve the eggs.
  • Tip the lettuce quarters, cooked beans and olives into the bowl with the potatoes. Add most of the remaining dressing and gently toss. Divide the salad between two bowls, and top with the tomatoes and eggs. Flake over the tuna, then drizzle with the rest of the dressing and season.

SHAVED ASPARAGUS AND RADISH SALAD



Shaved Asparagus and Radish Salad image

An easy salad to put together, this is a celebration of the first asparagus of the season, which is sweet enough to eat raw. Omit the anchovy in the dressing if you wish, but it's there to provide a boost of flavor, not to taste fishy. Any type of radish will work but, for a really vibrant salad, look for the many colorful varieties of daikon radish available at many farmers' markets.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, vegetables, appetizer, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons fruity, flavorful extra-virgin olive oil
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed, blotted and roughly chopped
Salt and pepper
1 pound asparagus, medium-thick spears if possible
1 cup thinly sliced daikon radish or other radish, preferably a mixture of colors (or more to taste)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and anchovy. Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
  • Snap off and discard the tough end of each asparagus spear. Using a sharp knife, slice asparagus lengthwise into ribbons. For skinny asparagus, just halve lengthwise.
  • Place sliced asparagus in a large salad bowl. Toss with salt and pepper, then add the dressing and toss to coat.
  • For each serving, place a handful of dressed asparagus on a plate. Surround with slices of colorful radish, and tuck a few more slices among the asparagus ribbons. Sprinkle radishes lightly with salt.

SALADE NIçOISE



Salade Niçoise image

This salad was inspired by a classic Salade Niçoise with its fresh anchovies, potatoes and green beans, and one offered to me by Alice Waters, owner of Chez Panisse, who comes to France every year to avail herself of, among other things, the fine green beans of summer.

Provided by Susan Herrmann Loomis

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 26

For the vinaigrette:
3 tablespoons best quality cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium new white onion, sliced paper-thin
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups flat-leaf parsley leaves, loosely packed
3/4 cup mixture of tarragon and fresh chervil leaves, loosely packed
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
N/A freshly ground black pepper
For the Salad:
2 pounds fresh tuna
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, for rubbing on the tuna
N/A Sea salt
N/A freshly ground black pepper
20 anchovy fillets (preferably packed in oil)
1 pound green beans, trimmed
1 pound yellow beans, trimmed
2 pounds of tiny new potatoes, scrubbed
1/2 each red and yellow bell peppers, cut in thin (1/4-inch) strips
1/2 yellow bell peppers
6 medium red and yellow tomatoes, stemmed and quartered
5 farm eggs, hard-cooked and peeled
1 cup nicoise olives
Sprigs of parsley and chervil, for garnish
N/A chervil Sprigs

Steps:

  • Make the vinaigrette:
  • In a large bowl make the vinaigrette by whisking together the vinegar and the mustard. Slowly whisk in the oil in a thin stream to emulsify the mixture. Stir in the garlic and the onions. Mince the parsley and add it, with the tarragon and chervil, to the dressing, mixing well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Make the Salad:
  • Rinse the tuna, pat it dry and refrigerate it until just before cooking.
  • Build a small fire in a barbecue. When the coals are red and dusted with ash, spread them out, and lay the rosemary atop them. Set the grill atop the coals. Rub the tuna on all sides lightly with olive oil, and place on the grill. Cover the grill, leaving the vents open, so the tuna grills and smokes at the same time. Grill until the tuna is lightly golden and almost cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully turn the tuna and cook until it is golden on the other side and opaque through, an additional 5 to 7 minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on the heat of the fire, so check it carefully. Transfer the tuna to a plate, season it lightly all over with salt and pepper, and let it cool to room temperature. When it is cool enough to handle, carefully remove the skin and any bones. Drizzle it on both sides with about 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette, then reserve at room temperature.
  • Drain the anchovies of oil and pat them dry.
  • Bring 4 cups water to a boil in the bottom of a steamer. Add half the beans, cover, and steam until they are tender firm, about 6 minutes. Remove from the steamer and let cool on a wire rack covered with a cotton tea towel. Repeat with the remaining beans.
  • Transfer one-third of the dressing to a medium sized bowl.
  • Bring a medium-sized pot of salted water to a boil, and add the potatoes. Cook just until they are tender through, about 15 minutes. Drain. If you want to peel them, do so as soon as they are cool enough to handle. Add them, still warm, to the one-third of the vinaigrette. Toss, and reserve.
  • To assemble the salad, just before serving toss the beans and the peppers with enough vinaigrette to fully moisten them, and arrange them in the center of a serving platter. Top them with the anchovy fillets, arranging them attractively on top. Quarter the eggs, and place them, with the tomatoes, around the beans and peppers. Drizzle them with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette.
  • Place the potatoes on another platter. Break the tuna apart into large pieces, and arrange the pieces attractively atop the potatoes. Sprinkle with the olives. Drizzle with any remaining vinaigrette, and garnish with several sprigs of parsley and chervil. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh greens. This is the foundation of a great salad, so make sure your greens are crisp, tender, and flavorful.
  • Vary your greens. Don't just stick to one type of green. Mix and match different types, such as romaine, arugula, spinach, and kale, to create a salad with a variety of textures and flavors.
  • Use seasonal vegetables. This will ensure that your salad is made with the freshest, most flavorful vegetables possible.
  • Add some protein. This will help to make your salad more filling and satisfying. Good options include grilled chicken, tofu, quinoa, and beans.
  • Don't forget the dressing. A good dressing can really make or break a salad. Make your own dressing or use a store-bought dressing that you enjoy.
  • Garnish your salad. This will add a pop of color and flavor. Good options include croutons, nuts, seeds, and fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

A salad niçoise is a classic French salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner on a hot summer day. It is made with fresh greens, seasonal vegetables, protein, and a flavorful dressing. With a few simple tips, you can easily make a delicious and satisfying salad niçoise at home.
