Ingredients
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ lemon freshly juiced
- 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
- 1½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon honey
- 1 dash aged balsamic vinegar
- kosher salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 large egg
- ½ lb green beans trimmed
- 6 oz yellowfin tuna
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 cups salad greens spring mix
- cornichons to taste
- olives to taste
- capers to taste
- caperberries to taste
- flaky salt for garnish
Method
- Whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, champagne vinegar, honey, black pepper, and kosher salt in a medium bowl until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning. Finish with a dash of aged balsamic. Set aside.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently lower the egg into the water. Cook for exactly 10 minutes.
- Transfer the egg to a bowl of ice water using a slotted spoon. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then peel and set aside.
- Add the green beans to the same pot of boiling water. Cook until tender but still snappy, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer the green beans to the ice bath until completely cool, about 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Slice in half crosswise.
- Pat the tuna completely dry with paper towels. Drizzle lightly with avocado oil and a small spoonful of the vinaigrette. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Heat a medium pan over high heat. Add a drizzle of avocado oil. Once the oil is smoking, add the tuna and sear for 90 seconds per side.
- Remove to a cutting board and slice into ½-inch pieces.
- Lightly dress and toss the salad greens with a few spoonfuls of the vinaigrette. Transfer to a serving plate.
- Halve the egg and arrange it on the greens alongside the green beans, cornichons, olives, capers, and caperberries.
- Lay the seared tuna slices across the top. Garnish with flaky salt and a final drizzle of the reserved vinaigrette.
