  A lovely fresh recipe that went down well after momths of winter stodge. I varied it slighty with the addition of some baby salald leaves and a few steamed and chopped French beans and used boiled Pink Fir Apple potatoes rather than roast. I also used fresh tuna which worked really well and made it feel a very special dish.

  I, too, used fresh warmed tuna steaks, some green beans, and slivers of green onion tops. It's a lovely meal.

  Everybody groaned when I said it was tuna salad for tea, but it was actually quite nice.

  Very tasty and refreshing after a few months of everything from the slow cooker! I used griddled fresh tuna rather than tinned, twas very good and will make again. We particularly liked the roasted new potato slices.

  A lovely fresh but filling salad, beautiful flavours and so easy to make. I added green beans and olives to give it a proper nicoise salad feel. We used tinned tuna as per the recipe, but next time I will use fresh tuna steak as that must really add something special.

  I haven't made this yet, having always had salade nicoise in France it usually include julienned celeriac. I couldn't buy tinned celeriac, so I had to buy fresh. No idea how to prepare it, should it be raw or blanched? Any ideas?

  SazzyK66... You can use celeriac raw or blanched. I personally would use it raw in this recipe. If you have any celeriac left, which I'm sure you will have, It makes fab coleslaw (instead of cabbage) and lovely boiled to make celeriac mash with coarsegrain mustard stirred through. Oh and lovely soup!!!

  Made quite a few changes - did not have any sun dried tomatoes so roasted some cherry tomatoes and then left to cool before adding to dressing. Also added some asparagus and little Gem lettuce to salad and used fresh tuna. Left out the capers and only used 3 eggs. Very tasty and filling will do again.

  It was simply, easy and delicious! Used seared tuna steak instead of canned tuna and brushed the tuna with a mixture of soy sauce, garlic & ginger mince, oil & orange zest. 2 min on one side and less than 1 min on the other on a very hot pan. slice it after cool down - best tuna steak I've made. Also used semi-dried cherry tomatoes and skipped potato for less carbs. Made for 3 but 2 of us finished it at one go....definitely a winner for work day light dinner.
