Description

This was my version of a Niçoise salad when I was the chef at Triple Creek Ranch in Montana. I used to get great smoked trout from our fishing guides. I posted the url for the photo as it’s copyrighted material from when Food & Wine did an article at the ranch, I didn’t think I should print it here without permission.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon White Wine Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Shallot
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 whole Small Garlic Clove, Mashed
  • ½ teaspoons Lemon Zest, Finely Grated
  • ½ cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Capers, Drained
  • Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1-½ pound Small Red Potatoes
  • 6 ounces, weight Haricots Vert, Stemmed
  • 12 cups Mixed Salad Greens
  • 1 pound Smoked Trout, Skin Discarded And Fish Flaked
  • 1 package Cherry Tomatoes (1 Pint)
  • 6 whole Eggs, Hard-boiled, Peeled And Quartered
  • ½ cups Niçoise Olives, Pitted

Preparation

Big Sky Niçoise Salad
Recipe By: Martha McGinnis

1. In a blender, combine the lemon juice with the vinegar, shallot, mustard, garlic and lemon zest and pulse until finely chopped. With the machine on, add the olive oil in a thin stream and blend until emulsified. Add the capers and a pinch each of salt and pepper and pulse until the capers are coarsely chopped.

2. Put the potatoes in a large pot of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 18 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a colander and rinse under cold water until cool. Pat dry and cut into quarters.

3. Return the water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water. Pat dry.

4. In a large bowl, toss the salad greens with 1/4 cup of the lemon-caper dressing and transfer to large plates. Working with 1 ingredient at a time, toss the potatoes, haricots verts, trout and tomatoes with the remaining dressing and arrange over the salad greens. Garnish with the eggs and olives. Serve the salad immediately, passing any remaining dressing separately.
