Grilled Tuna Salad Nicoise created by Jostlori

Anyone having access to fresh tuna knows that canned stuff does not taste like tuna. This doesn't need to be chilled very long. Serve on greens, maybe a little chopped egg on top

Based mine on this recipe, added cukes, asparagus, capers, avocado, some vegan smoked cheese, no onions for me, added a balsamic drizzle on the top. Awesome!

Fabulous lunch salad! I added yellow tomatoes, avocado slices and two poached eggs, loved the dressing! The grilled tuna makes all the difference in the world, this will be made again many times!
