Ingredients

• 4 cups Mixed baby greens
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 12 small Baby potatoes, boiled and halved
• 1 cup Green beans, blanched
• 1 cup Kalamata olives
• 4 large Hard-boiled eggs, quartered
• 8 oz Cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 6 oz Seared tuna steak, sliced
• 6 oz Cooked mussels, shelled
• 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables: Wash the baby greens, cherry tomatoes, and green beans. Slice the boiled baby potatoes in half.

Step 2

Blanch the green beans by boiling them for 1-2 minutes, then transferring them into a bowl of ice water to retain their bright color and crisp texture.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, parsley, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing. Set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the seafood: Cook the shrimp by boiling in salted water for roughly 2-3 minutes and allowing them to cool. Sear the tuna steak in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side for a rare-medium cook, then thinly slice it. Cook and shell the mussels if they are not pre-prepared.

Step 5

Assemble the salad: Arrange the mixed greens as a base on a large serving platter. Top with cooked baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, blanched green beans, Kalamata olives, and quartered hard-boiled eggs.

Step 6

Neatly layer the cooked shrimp, sliced seared tuna, and cooked mussels on top of the vegetable bed.

Step 7

Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the salad, ensuring all components are lightly coated.

Step 8

Garnish the finished dish with extra chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, hearty flavors of this Mixed Seafood Nicoise Salad.
