Ingredients:
For the salad:
5-6 Lettuce leaves
4 medium potatoes
3 eggs, hard boiled
1/2 Red onion
10-12 cherry tomatoes
1 tuna fillet or canned tuna
40g Olives
200g (7oz) Green beans
1 tablespoon capers
Parsley
For the dressing:
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup Olive oil
3 tablespoons Vinegar
Salt

Directions:
1. Preparations: peel the potatoes, cut into chunks, place in a large pot, cover with water, season with 1 teaspoon of salt, bring to a boil and cook until fork tender. Drain and let cool. Boil the eggs for 10 minutes, peel and set aside. Cook the green beans until ready. Set aside.
2. Thinly slice the onion, cut in half cherry tomatoes and hard boiled eggs. Set aside.
3. Place all vegetables in a large bowl and set aside.

    I'm making this today. I've made potato salad but like this. I love tuna steak. I'm on my way to the store now. Cooking Foodie. You're wonderful.

    Foodie, you did it again! If you can make a freaking salad look appealing for us red meat eating barbarians, you know you are good at what you do. Keep up the good work. And how is it that every time I watch your videos I end up starving Evan after I just ate? Lol

    Thank you very much for all your recipes😍😍. Please try the Endomi salad because I tasted it at the Vetier restaurant which was delicious

    Looks great, but would be even better with a neater presentation. Yes, it's a country dish but when I've had it the ingredients are always clumped together in grouping on bed of lettuce. That way has more visual pop. JAT

    I also use fresh tuna for my Niçoise salad, but I prefer my tuna pretty rare. I also add a hard boiled yolk to my vinaigrette for more body.

    No oignons
    Needs anchovies
    No mustard with vinaigrette sauce
    No câpre
    Go learn cooking before prepare those salads
    Thanks

    Looks amazing, but are we all just going to ignore that that is the most underwhelming pepper grinder ever?
