Salade Nicoise comes from Nice on the French Riviera, and it is our kind of sunny, seaside lunch. Good oil-packed tuna is traditional and wonderfully rich, so there is no need to sear fresh fish. The secret is dressing the potatoes while they are still warm, which lets them drink up the tangy vinaigrette. Arrange everything on a big platter and let people build their own plates.

Instructions

  1. Make the vinaigrette: combine the shallot, vinegar, Dijon, salt and pepper in a jar and let stand for 5 minutes, then add the olive oil and shake until emulsified.
