Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the tuna steak with salt and pepper. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and sear the tuna for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Transfer the tuna to a plate and set aside to rest.
2
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and sliced hard-boiled eggs. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the top and toss to combine.
3
To make the vinaigrette, combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and then slowly pour in the olive oil, whisking constantly until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
4
To plate the salad, place a portion of the mixed greens on a plate or platter. Slice the seared tuna into thin strips and place on top of the greens. Garnish with Niçoise olives and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.
