Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 4 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and cool eggs under cold running water. Peel and slice into thick rounds.
  2. Step 2: In a large salad bowl, combine 4 cups mixed salad greens, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and 1/4 cup Niçoise olives.
  3. Step 3: Flake 7 oz canned tuna (drained) into large chunks and add to the salad bowl with the sliced eggs.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp honey, and salt and black pepper to taste until the vinaigrette is smooth and emulsified.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss all ingredients to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
