Nicoise-Style Tuna Salad With White Beans & Olives

“For my nicoise-style tuna salad, just open three cans: one each of tuna, white beans and sliced olives. Toss these ingredients with slivered red onion, olive oil and lemon juice. Take time, if you like, to boil eggs, or pick them up at the grocery salad bar. Serve the salad with steamed green beans. For an even simpler version, add a little chopped parsley to the salad for color and serve it with salted tomato slices.”

Too many canned items that go un-cooked that left a weird taste. It had a nice combination of flavors from the other ingredients, but it's just not a winner in our book.

This was just OK for me. I used canned green beans for convenience.

Solid salad. I didn't use green beans, but served it over salad greens and cut up red and yellow peppers, halved grape tomatoes, and threw in some capers and anchovies. Pretty and VERY filling.

This was delicious! I added 1 clove garlic + 1 teaspoon dijon mustard to the dressing to replace the "zing" of olives, which I did not have on hand. I look forward to trying this again and again.

this was very, very good! I was looking to make something healthy and different for lunch and happened to have all the ingredients for this on hand. I put the tuna on top of a bed of torn romaine lettuce and tomato and added some feta cheese. My husband loved it too! This one's a keeper! thanks

This is a good recipe, since I love salade nicoise. I would suggest one improvement: marinate the cooked green beans in some of the salad dressing for a few hours before making the salad. Then they will taste like part of the salad rather than cold beans added to it.

I found the recipe and tried it because my husband dislikes mayo. It is the only way I make tuna now. It is fabulous as written, but I have also added feta cheese sprinkles, which tastes great. I just mix in the green beans now. Sometimes I skip the eggs. I recommend it enthusiastically!

Delicious! I used chopped cucumber instead of green beans, left out the onions, and used more lemon juice/less olive oil. It was really good! Next time I'm going to add tomatoes and another can of beans. I love salade nicoise but it takes so long to make so this recipe is great.

I made this dish last night because I didn't have much left in the house--it was excellent! I included green olives instead of black and left out the eggs.

Excellent salad! Easy to put together, healthy and perfect for lunch or a light supper. What more do you want? Great served with fresh green beans from the garden. Another winner from Pam Anderson!
