Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh tuna steaks
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup Niçoise olives
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a pot of boiling water, cook the baby potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pot of boiling water, carefully add the eggs and cook for 8 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel and halve the eggs.

- In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, Niçoise olives, red onion, and parsley. Toss with the vinaigrette.
- Divide the salad mixture among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with the grilled tuna, halved baby potatoes, and hard-boiled egg halves.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
