Does it looks delicious or what?
NICOISE SALAD
Nicoise or Niçoise (pronounced - nee-swaaz) is an olives, eggs, anchovies, and tomato salad of Mediterranean origin. Just like many other Mediterranean recipes, Nicoise is also a healthy, veggie-forward salad with lean fish protein. It looks so pretty. You wanna eat with eyes. One of my favorite salad to serve in dinner parties.
WHAT IS IN NICOISE SALAD?
The Mediterranean version of this salad use no cooked vegetables but all fresh veggies especially tomatoes moistened with love oil and salt, boiled eggs, Nicoise olives, and seafood protein such as anchovies, salmon or tuna.
The classic Nicoise Salad ingredients are:
- Hard Boiled Eggs
- Nicoise Olives (if you can't find. Feel free to use your favorite marinated olives from olive bar)
- Fish Protein - Tuna, Anchovies, Salmon. Any one will work. I recommend not to mix more than one seafood for this salad as it distroyes the flavor. I highly recommend using cooked Tuna.
- Garlic
- Tomatoes seasoned with olive oil and salt.
- Raw salad veggies of choice. I often use red radish, cucumber, arugula or romaine. Pick you favorites.
- A mustard vinaigrette dressing.
- Optional ingredients - artichokes, spring onion, basil, bell pepper.
As described in Wikipedia, the updated version of Nicoise Tuna Salad often include cooked vegetables such as boiled potatoes, and green beans. Feel free to add some if you prefer.
TUNA OR ANCHOVIES?
We love pan-seared black pepper crusted tuna. So I decided to use tuna for this salad. You can also use anchovies or canned tuna (oil packed). But honestly, nothing beats the flavor of fresh cooked tuna. So, if you can invest some time and money then I recommend using fresh cooked tuna for Salad Nicoise.
Tip: If you are time pressed and still don't want to use canned tuna. I recommend trying Asian black pepper tuna sold in most international grocery stores. It is definitely better than canned and saves a grocery tip to get the fresh tuna.
HOW TO COOK TUNA FOR NICOISE SALAD:
I love pan seared tuna steaks with generous crust of black pepper. It looks great and taste even better.
If you ever wondered how fancy restaurants make tuna steak look so good. I got you covered. It takes less than 10 minutes to cook tuna steaks to perfection. No one will believe it is so easy and can be easily done at home.
Simply, season liberally with salt and black pepper. Press black pepper on tuna steak to make a crust. (that is the key), and then sear in hot pan until both sides are cooked 1/4 way leaving center pink. That's it! You have cooked the perfect seared tuna steaks. (picture below)
NICOISE SALAD DRESSING:
Dressing for this salad packs punch of flavor. Plus it takes just 5 minutes to mix a batch. Ingredients for dressing will be in your pantry right now. Stone ground mustard, capers, apple cider vinegar, garlic, chili flakes, and olive oil. The dressing has consistency of sauce. SO you spoon it over the salad specially tuna instead of coating everything in the salad. The texture of stone ground mustard, capers makes every bite of salad extra delicious.
