Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces fingerling potatoes
6 ounces haricot verts
2 Gem or Bibb lettuce hearts, outer leaves removed, quartered
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 hard-boiled eggs, quartered
6 ounces cooked chicken, shredded roughly
1/4 cup Mustard Vinaigrette, recipe follows
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces pitted nicoise olives
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 shallot, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the potatoes to a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon (let the water continue to boil) and let cool slightly.
  • Prepare an ice water bath. Add the haricot verts to the boiling water, blanch briefly and transfer to the water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain, then cut into 2-inch pieces. Slice the potatoes 1/4 inch thick.
  • Arrange the lettuce on a platter. Top with separate mounds of the potatoes, haricot verts, tomatoes, eggs and chicken, then drizzle with the Mustard Vinaigrette. Season all with salt and pepper. Garnish with the olives.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic and shallot. Whisk until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.

I'm not a big fan of anchovies, so I left them out of the dressing. The salad was still delicious, and I didn't miss the anchovies at all.

This salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt in the dressing next time.
