If you’re looking for a fresh and satisfying meal, this Niçoise Tuna Salad is the perfect choice! With a mix of crisp greens, tender baby potatoes, juicy cherry tomatoes, and perfectly cooked green beans, this French classic is both vibrant and delicious. But the real star? Ramírez tuna fillets in lemon—wild-caught from the coasts of Portugal, these delicate fillets add the perfect citrusy touch to every bite.

Paired with a tangy homemade vinaigrette, this salad is ideal for warm days, whether you’re enjoying a light lunch or a wholesome dinner. Plus, you can find Ramírez Tuna at La Torre Supermarkets, The Daily Shop, and Délica, making it easy to recreate this dish at home.
