SUMMER NIGHT'S SALAD

This salad is light but fulsome, a scoop of punched-up tuna paired with the summer's best greens and some carefully considered vegetables. Serve a soft cow or goat's milk cheese on the side with some crusty bread and a crisp, chilled rosé to cut into it all. The goal is this: On a sweltering night, dinner must leave enough room for fresh peaches and vanilla ice cream, a fitting reward for finishing your vegetables.

Steps:

  • Build salads to order on four large plates. Start with a small handful of greens for each plate and divide the asparagus, haricots verts, tomatoes, fennel, okra, cucumber and olives accordingly.
  • Drizzle the salads with the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar and olive or mustard oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Mound spoonfuls of the tuna in the center of each salad. Serve with sliced bread and a good soft cheese.
