Delicious! I will definitely make this again! I added a little extra Italian Dressing on the top, and instead of capers, I diced sweet onions.
Grilled Tuna Niçoise Salad
Randy Mayor
Niçoise olives are smaller than the more familiar green or ripe black olives. If you can't find niçoise, choose kalamata olives (they're available with and without pits). Total time: 20 minutes.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 steak, 2 cups salad greens, 4 olives, and 1 1/2 teaspoons capers)
