It's a modern twist on the classic Nicoise salad, incorporating high-protein tuna, fiber-rich lentils, and various vegetables. This recipe is perfect for a balanced and satisfying lunch or dinner.
- Cook the lentils in advance to save time. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Blanch the green beans by steaming them for a few minutes and then plunging them into ice water to retain their vibrant color and crisp texture.
- For a perfectly soft-boiled egg, cook it in boiling water for about 6-7 minutes, then transfer it to an ice bath to stop the cooking process before peeling.
- Use high-quality tuna to enhance the flavor of the dish; opt for fresh tuna steaks or high-grade canned tuna.
- To add extra flavor, toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet before adding them to the salad.
- Adjust the dressing ingredients to taste; adding a dash of Dijon mustard or a squeeze of lemon juice can elevate the flavors.
