This is kind of a take on a Niçoise salad and is super fresh with a delicious caper dijon dressing. Also a great, healthy way to use fresh tuna. This is a green bean and bib lettuce salad with quick pan seared tuna, chickpeas and a lemon dijon vinaigrette. All topped with a soft boiled egg. Perfect lunch idea!
