Nicoise Pasta Salad
Ingredients
- 2 cups salad greens
- 1 cup pasta cooked
- 1 can (140gm) tuna drained and gently flaked
- 230 gm green beans uncooked or lightly steamed
- 2 hard-boiled eggs sliced
Dressing
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 Tbsp prepared mustard coarse-ground
- 1 Tbsp white vinegar
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ lemon juice
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine salad greens, pasta and tuna.
- To steam the green beans, place 1/2 cup of water in a saute pan and cook over medium-high heat until most of the water has evaporated and the beans are bright green. Add to salad.
- To make the dressing: Put the egg yolks, garlic, mustard and vinegar in a blender. Turn blender to low speed to incorporate the ingredients, then keep motor running and carefully drizzle in oil and lemon juice. Add more oil if you like a thinner dressing. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add dressing and hard boiled eggs to salad, toss gently.
Notes
Serve with crusty bread and top with fresh grated parmesan.
Although I’m not a qualified chef I do like to pretend I’m on Master Chef. I source the recipes from the stated source (not sauce) and make them taking the photo of the meal I produce for myself.
