Ingredients

• 4 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.5 small Red onion
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese
• 1 can Canned tuna in olive oil
• 1 cup Green beans
• 10 small Baby potatoes
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the baby potatoes by boiling them in salted water for 12-15 minutes, until tender. Drain, let cool slightly, and cut in halves or quarters, depending on size.

Step 2

While the potatoes cook, trim the green beans and blanch them by boiling for 3-4 minutes, then transferring immediately to an ice water bath. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Cook the eggs by placing them in a saucepan of cold water, bringing to a boil, and simmering for 9 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to ice water to cool, peel, and cut into quarters.

Step 4

Wash and dry the mixed salad greens. Slice the cucumber into rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice the red onion.

Step 5

Drain the canned tuna and flake it lightly with a fork, leaving it in large chunks.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 7

In a large salad bowl or platter, arrange the salad greens as a base. Top with the potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and Kalamata olives.

Step 8

Add the tuna chunks and scatter the feta cheese over the top. Place the egg quarters around the salad for presentation.

Step 9

Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad. Toss gently if preferred, or serve as is for a composed look.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Greek Salad Nicoise!
