Instead, this Salade Niçoise is a lovely blend of vegetables and perfectly cooked tuna. It’s perfect for an entire meal, and since it cooks so quickly (in about fifteen minutes) you could make it for lunch or dinner, even when you’re in a rush.
Salade Niçoise | Air Fryer Recipe
Traditional Salade Niçoise features steamed or boiled potatoes and green beans and, often, canned tuna. It also takes multiple steps, where many of the vegetables are cooked separately. This air-fryer version allows you to cook everything together, simply by adding the tuna after the vegetables have cooked for a little while. Canned tuna can just ruin this entire dish. I’m all for skipping steps to make a recipe more efficient when it doesn’t change the flavor, but canned tuna definitely changes the flavor. Don’t use canned tuna. If you use a fresh, amazing tuna filet you will really enjoy this Salade Niçoise.
What Does This Salade Niçoise Taste Like?
Okay, let’s talk taste. This Salade Niçoise tastes crisper than a traditional Salade because the traditional recipe calls for boiling all the ingredients. Here however, I wanted to air fry or bake them to get a quick meal. it’s actually a great example of how to use the same ingredients but how to cook them differently for a different taste. If you like you can steam all the ingredients and combine them, and enjoy your salad that way as well.
