nicoise salad
Fresh tuna is a million time better than canned.
This is the easiest meal ever, just a matter of assembling it.
you will need :
fresh tuna, cos lettuce (or other crunchy 'substantial' lettuce, (save romaine for takeaway lunches, pls), 1 cucumber, cherry tomatoes-halved, pitted olives, some fresh soft herbs (here i used dill), hardboiled eggs (1 per person), some yoghurt, olive oil, salt and pepper.
how to :
first, season the fish with olive oil, salt and pepper, and panfried 3 minutes on each side.
While waiting for the tuna, you could also start assembling the salad on platter, simply just scatter the vegies on the plates. After 3 minutes on each side, your tuna should be nice and pink, you could slice them, or tear for a more rustic look ( jamie-oliver-esque).
for the dressing, mix yoghurt, olive oil, season with salt and pepper,stir some chopped herbs. taste & think..... add something more if you think it's appropriate.
Place the sliced tuna on top of the vegies, serve with dressing on the side.
