Ingredients

4 small red potatoes (about 1/2 pound)
1/3 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
12-ounce can light tuna packed in water, drained
1/2 cup chopped pitted Greek or Spanish olives
1/4 cup diced red onion
2 large tomatoes, seeded and diced (about 2 cups)
5 cups chopped romaine lettuce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper

Directions

Boil water in a large pot with a fitted steamer basket. Put the potatoes in the steamer, cover and steam for 15 minutes. Add the green beans and steam for 6 minutes more. Put the cooked potatoes and beans in a dish and set in the refrigerator to cool, or plunge into a bowl of ice water to cool quickly.

Put tuna, olives, onion, tomato and lettuce in a large bowl. Dice the potatoes and green beans, add them to the bowl and toss.

In a small bowl whisk together the oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss well and serve.

Great Version of Nicoise Salad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

What a great idea to come up with a chopped version of the classic Nicoise Salad typically made with fresh tuna steak. Be... sure to cook your green beans and potatoes to al dente - you don't want them to be cooked all the way through. The salad dressing with the lemon was tangy and refreshing and a nice pairing with the tuna. This one is a keeper and is now one of my new favorites.Read more

Ellie does it again!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is delicious. Fresh, colorful, and tasty. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed it. I made it as a meal for dinner... with a slice of toasted wheat french bread on the side. My boyfriend is usually pretty opposed to "healthy" meals... but he cleaned his plate and went back for more. I've made several of Ellie's recipes and LOVED them all. She definitely knows how to skip the bad and keep/enhance all the good!Read more

Wonderful summer salad
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This has become one of my family's favorite lunch salads. The lemon juice adds such freshness. I also add a bit of garlic to... the dressing.Read more
