Tuna Salad Nicoise | Everyday Food with Sarah Carey
Need a cool dinner for a warm night? Why not try a dinner salad? My family lives on main-course salads all summer -- they're refreshing and beautiful, and don't weigh us down in the heat. Plus, I can't think of a better way to make use of all the peak season produce in the markets now. The key to making great salads is building flavor as you go.
Today, watch me make a classic French Nicoise salad. I give it a simple twist by roasting the potatoes and the tomatoes for a deeper, heartier flavor. When I add those ingredients along with good-quality tuna and olives on top of baby arugula, I have a satisfying dinner that's still quite light.
Sarah's Tip of the Day:
As you watch, you'll see how one simple ingredient can turn a salad dressing from acidic to smooth; plus, check out my trick for getting the driest greens so the dressing sticks better.
Tune in throughout the week, when I'll be cooking up lots of fresh ideas for dinner salads. I'll be showing you easy tricks for layering and enhancing your ingredients so they're are as appealing -- and satisfying -- as they can be.

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!
