Almost Nicoise Tuna Salad

To be fair, this is nothing like a Nicoise salad other than the fact that we are using tuna and eggs for it, but who’s going to judge?

All I can say is the little quail eggs for sure make this salad extra fun, so give it a go!

Recipe serves 2 people.

Ingredients

• 1 small can of tuna
• 6 quail eggs

For the dressing:

• 2 tbsp olive oil

2. Cut up olives and tomatoes in half. Slice the pickles.
3. To make the dressing, put all the ingredients in a jar and shake until well combined.
