Tuna Nicoise: Shaygo's way

oh tuna nicoise, how i love thee.

*mixed greens or spinach
*hard boiled eggs
*green beans
*olives (oil cured are delicious)
*red onion
*avocado
*tuna steak (for real -- leave your canned in the pantry)

no tomatoes because i think they taste weird with the tuna steak.

i like to blanch the green beans and then shock them in cold water.

to make the tuna i coat that sucker in some evoo and coarsely ground pepper and then sear it so it's nice & raw on the inside.

for the dressing i use white vinegar, evoo, about a tsp of dijon, 1 minced shallot and salt & pepper.

put it all together and eat it. . .
