This is a variation of the classic French salade niçoise made with canned tuna. Get creative and try it with salmon or grilled chicken, too.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
| 8 | small red potatoes, quartered |
| 1/2 lb | green beans |
| 1/2 | medium onion, thinly sliced |
| 1 | small red pepper, seeded and sliced |
| 8 | cherry tomatoes, quartered |
| 4 | canned artichoke hearts, drained and quartered |
| 2 tbsp | capers, drained and rinsed |
| 1/2 cup | store-bought ranch dressing |
| 4 | tuna (4 oz each) |
| 4 cups | baby greens, washed and well drained |
| 4 | whole green onions for garnish, optional |
Instructions
- In a steamer basket over boiling water, steam potatoes and green beans. Remove beans with tongs when tender but still crisp. Continue cooking potatoes until they can be pierced easily with a fork.
- Lightly spray a small skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add onion and pepper and cook until tender but still slightly crunchy.
- Combine cooked onion, pepper, beans, and potatoes in a bowl with tomatoes, artichoke hearts and capers. Add dressing and mix well. Refrigerate, tightly covered, for about 10 minutes.
- Preheat broiler (or barbecue). Broil or grill fish for about 3 minutes per side.
- Add baby greens to vegetables and mix well.
- Divide salad among plates and top with tuna. Garnish plates with whole green onion, if desired.
