Grilled Tuna Niçoise Salad
- 3/4 pound small red potatoes
- 1/2 pound green beans, trimmed
- 1/3 cup reduced-fat Italian dressing
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 4 (6-ounce) tuna steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)
- 8 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 hard-cooked large egg, chopped
- 16 nicoise olives
- 2 tablespoons capers
- Prepare grill to high heat.
- Scrub potatoes. Place wet potatoes in an 8-inch square baking dish; cover with wax paper. Microwave at high 3 minutes. Add beans to dish; cover. Microwave at high 3 minutes or until vegetables are tender; drain. Rinse with cold water.
- While vegetables cook, combine the dressing and tarragon. Set aside 1/4 cup dressing mixture; brush remaining dressing mixture over fish. Grill steaks over high heat 3 minutes on each side or until medium-rare (140u0b0 to 145u0b0) or desired degree of doneness. (Do not overcook or fish will be tough.)
- Arrange greens on 4 serving plates. Drain potatoes and green beans; thinly slice potatoes. Arrange potatoes, green beans, egg, and olives over greens. Top each salad with a steak; sprinkle with capers. Drizzle with reserved dressing.
