Nicoise Salad Recipe
When it comes to fresh seafood, it's important to know that it is ocean caught, and at Cafe Del Rey in Marina Del Rey in California, it is caught fresh daily!
However, it's not just the fresh seafood that the cafe selects daily for its patrons, they also place importance on buying and supporting local fresh fruit and vegetable farmers. That's why I love this cafe!
The other reason why I love this cafe is that the executive chef, Chef Abair, loves sharing the freshness in every dish with guests to the cafe. Take a look at this video as he shares with us how to make Tune Nicoise Salas, and how easy it is to make it at home, or to experience the tastes at the cafe for yourself, be sure to visit Cafe Del Rey then next time you are in Marina Del Rey, California.

For the full recipe:
Buttery Boston lettuce tossed in a light vinaigrette with tuna and your favourite assorted vegetables – enjoy our TUNA SALAD NIÇOISE for brunch, lunch or dinner.
I truly believe every great salad deserves to be personalized, and an authentic Niçoise salad is no exception. Ultimately, the recipe for this classic dish has endless possibilities, whether you’re adhering to the strict guidelines of a centuries-old French cookbook or following the trends of up-and-coming chefs. You can be sure the end result will always be delicious.
I like to serve a GRILLED TUNA SALAD in the summer months, but in winter months, I stick to this version made using a high-quality brand of tuna canned in olive oil.
Here are some of the tricks I’ve learned over the years:
THE BASICS
I think this salad deserves a buttery Boston or Bibb lettuce and I suggest trying to source hydroponically-farmed organic varieties. The leaves are soft and practically melt in your mouth.
I think French green beans – haricots verts – are essential to this recipe. Blanch them and cool them in ice water to keep their crispness.
Tossing boiled mini Yukons into this mix is the perfect complement for the tuna and the beans, as is a just-boiled egg. Serving it while it’s still slightly soft in the middle and you’re onto perfection.
THE DRESS UP
I think the vinaigrette for this salad should be bold and robust. That said, I also like to keep it simple and tangy. The expected ingredients of Dijon, shallots, garlic and a superior quality extra virgin olive oil give the vinaigrette bite and body.
As you prepare this vinaigrette, be confident when you add the anchovy paste, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. Together, these three ingredients will make your Niçoise salad dressing magical.
THE UPGRADES
Make sure to include these bonus flavour enhancements: shaved red onion, black olives, chopped artichoke and multi-coloured cherry tomatoes. But why stop there? Additional upgrades can include cucumber, green olives, zucchini, chickpeas and even corn. This salad invites them all.
The pièce de résistance, the icing on the cake, the thing that I think takes this salad recipe to an off-the-charts level? Sprinkle a few salted capers on top right before you toss and serve. Their unique flavour profile is astonishingly pleasing in this recipe.
There are plenty of options and combinations to use in your interpretation of this classic salad – it always looks wonderful and is good for you too. Since it’s often served as a stand-alone starter and main, perhaps a dessert suggestions will suffice. Follow it with our LEMON JELLY ROLL.
Give our TUNA SALAD NIÇOISE a try. Bon appétit!

???????? INGREDIENTS:
Salad:
• 100g + 20g red wine vinegar
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 lebanese cucumbers, peeled and halved lengthways
• 100g cherry tomatoes
• 10g extra virgin olive oil
• 3 radishes, thinly sliced
• 100g green beans, blanched and cut in thirds
• 50g marinated black olives + 20g olive brine
• ½ bunch basil, roughly chopped
• ½ head butter lettuce, washed and trimmed
• 140g tinned tuna, best quality
• 2 soft boiled eggs, quartered
• salt and pepper
Dressing:
• 1 clove garlic, peeled
• 30g red wine vinegar
• 50g extra virgin olive oil
• 5g White soy
• black pepper
???????? METHOD:
Cover the sliced red onion in 100g red wine vinegar and leave to pickle for 15 minutes. Cut the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes into random bite-sized pieces, then dress with 20g red wine vinegar, 10g extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
For the dressing, rub the whole clove of garlic into the surface of a wooden mixing bowl, then discard. Add the vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, white soy and black pepper. Pour into another bowl.
In the now empty mixing bowl, toss together the radish, beans, olives and brine, tuna, basil and lettuce. Squeeze all the liquid from the pickled onion and add to the bowl. Strain the marinated cucumber and tomato and add to the bowl.
Mix the strained tomato and cucumber juices in with the salad dressing and adjust seasoning if required. Pour half the dressing over the salad and coat.
To serve, layer the lettuce into a serving bowl, then followed with the eggs (seasoned with a touch of salt) and remaining ingredients. Top with the remaining dressing.
