Asparagus Nicoise Salad

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min. YIELD: 4 servings.
I’ve used my Nicoise as an appetizer or a main-dish salad, and it’s a winner every time I put it on the table. Here’s to a colorful, make-ahead salad! —Jan Meyer, St. Paul, Minnesota

Ingredients

  • 1 pound small red potatoes (about 10), halved
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and halved crosswise
  • 3 pouches (2-1/2 ounces each) albacore white tuna in water
  • 1/2 cup pitted Greek olives, halved, optional
  • 1/2 cup zesty Italian salad dressing

Directions

  • 1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with 2 in. water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes, adding asparagus during the last 2-4 minutes of cooking. Drain potatoes and asparagus; immediately drop into ice water.
  • 2. To serve, drain potatoes and asparagus; pat dry and divide among 4 plates. Add tuna and, if desired, olives. Drizzle with dressing.
