How To Make niçoise salad

Step 1

To make the vinaigrette, whisk all the ingredients together in a medium bowl.

Step 2

To make the salad, fill a large saucepan with enough water to reach just below the bottom of a steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil, and carefully add the eggs to the steamer basket using a long-handled spoon or tongs. Cover the pot and steam for 13-15 minutes. Remove the eggs to icy cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 3

Fill the same pot with cool water to an inch over the potatoes and a teaspoon of salt. Bring the pot to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer just until the potatoes are almost completely fork-tender. Drop the green beans into the simmering water and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the potatoes and green beans to icy cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 4

Peel your eggs and slice them and the red potatoes in half. Arrange the eggs, potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, radishes, olives, capers, and tuna on a large platter. Sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Drizzle with the mustard vinaigrette and serve promptly.
