Great, light recipe (originally from Cooking Light). My husband is from France, a former sous chef, and he gave it 5 stars - a rarity. I am starting to cook French food for him, but am trying to choose low calorie/fat versions. Our only substitution was kalamata olives, as we could not locate niçoise olives in our grocery stores. Kalamata olives are a bit stronger, but we were okay with that. We liked it so much, we almost ate all the servings, but that would have defeated the purpose of eating a "light" meal.
Wow! What a wonderful change of pace. Perfect for a hot Summer night to have a delicious chilled meal. My husband and boys are total 'meet and potato' guys and they enjoyed this as well. For my youngest I left off the dressing as it's a bit tangy yet for his palate.
Outstanding! Prepared exactly as described except I coated one side of the tuna in black and white sesame seeds before searing. Served with Lemony White Bean Mash...delicious!
