Tuna Niçoise Salad Recipe (Authentic French Salad)

Add all ingredients to a jar and shake to combine (or use a small food processor). Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Boil potatoes in salted water until fork tender (we're not looking for al dente potatoes! Be sure they're soft enough to cut easily with a fork). Drain well. Drizzle with a bit of dressing and set aside. Blanch green beans for one minute, drain and rinse with cold water or plunge in ice bath. Dry well. Drizzle with dressing and set aside. Toss sliced onion rings in dressing to marinate. Set aside. Peel boiled eggs. Slice. Season with salt and pepper.

Spread lettuce leaves over serving board or platter. Group salad ingredients around the platter. Drizzle with vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with more fresh basil and lemon wedges. Serve with crusty baguette.
