Niçoise olives are smaller than the more familiar green or ripe black olives. If you can't find niçoise, choose kalamata olives (they're available with and without pits). Total time: 20 minutes. Ingredients:
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 niçoise olives |
2 tablespoons capers |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill to high heat.
2. 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.
3. 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 (140º to 145º) or desired degree of doneness. (Do not overcook or fish will be tough.)
4. 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.
