This really is a great recipe though and you can add/take away from it.

You can go very similar with a Nicoise Salad

6 small New Potatoes, boiled and cut in half
1 pound green beans, ends snipped off and steamed til bright green and chilled
1/2 pound mixed greens
1 cup artichoke hearts, canned in water is fine
1 large tomato, wedged
2 hard boiled eggs, halved
1/2 cup black olives, fresh are better than canned, but canned will do
1 (6-ounce) can tuna packed in water

Vinaigrette:
1 tbs white wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic, smashed until paste
Pepper to taste
6 tbs olive oil

In a bowl, whisk together white wine, Dijon, garlic, and pepper. Drizzle in olive oil while whisking constantly. Arrange salad decoratively on a platter. Drizzle with the dressing.


tis really tasty - and even better with fresh tuna lightly seared but the packaged stuff will do in a pinch - this one is especially salad bar friendly..
