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.

I'm not a big fan of tuna salad, but this sandwich was actually really good! The Niçoise-style dressing is what made it.

The sandwich was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

Easy to make and packed with flavor. I used canned tuna, but I think it would be even better with fresh tuna. Thanks for sharing!

This tuna sandwich Niçoise style was a delightful surprise! The combination of flavors and textures was just perfect. The tuna was flaky and moist, the vegetables were crisp and fresh, and the dressing was light and tangy. I'll definitely be making t
