Salade Niçoise Keto, plated and ready to serve

Nice’s iconic composed salad — tuna, anchovies, hard-boiled eggs, olives, green beans, and tomatoes arranged with geometric precision over crisp salad leaves, dressed with a Dijon vinaigrette. Every element is authentic; only the traditional new potatoes are absent, replaced by creamy avocado that delivers the same richness with half the carbs.

Ingredients

  • 400 g quality tuna in olive oil drained
  • 8 anchovy fillets
  • 4 large eggs hard-boiled and halved
  • 200 g fine green beans blanched and refreshed
  • 2 avocados sliced (in place of potatoes)
  • 200 g cherry tomatoes halved
  • 80 g Niçoise olives (black, unpitted)
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 100 g mixed salad leaves
  • 3 tbsp olive oil vinaigrette
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar vinaigrette
  • 1 tsp Dijon vinaigrette
  • Salt, pepper vinaigrette

Instructions

  • Cook green beans in salted boiling water 4 minutes until tender-crisp. Plunge into ice water. Drain.
  • Hard-boil eggs: 10 minutes from cold water, plunge into ice water, peel and halve.
  • Make vinaigrette: whisk Dijon with red wine vinegar. Slowly whisk in olive oil until emulsified. Season.
  • Arrange salad leaves on a large platter. Dress lightly with vinaigrette.
  • Arrange all components separately in sections: tuna in center, eggs, tomatoes, green beans, avocado slices, olives, and red onion around.
  • Drape anchovy fillets over the tuna.
  • Drizzle remaining vinaigrette over everything. Serve without tossing — the presentation is part of the dish.
