Low Carbohydrate Salad Nicoise

"This is a lovely adaptation of Nicoise Salad from a low carb recipe book I have.The recipe calls for 175g grilled tuna steak, however I used a tin of Ocean Rise Yellow Fin Tuna Slices in olive oil with chilli (sold by Aldi in OZ). Using a tuna in olive oil enables you to use the oil from the can to make a lovely spicy salad dressing. My DH and I both enjoyed this very much and it is so quick and easy to make and low carb to boot! Note: I made this again with other tinned tuna and I have to admit that the results are much better using the olive oil that the tuna has been canned in."
