This board concept was inspired by a meal we enjoyed at my sister-in-law Ilana’s home. Classic Niçoise salad gets a fresh update when served as a grazing board. Appetizer, snack, Kiddush filler, or anytime meal: there is something for everyone on this platter.
4 ounces (115 grams) ahi tuna steaks
kosher salt
freshly ground Gefen Black Pepper
1 tablespoon oil
4–8 large eggs
salt
pepper
2–4 cups finely shredded romaine lettuce
1/2 pound (225 grams) green beans, trimmed
1/2 bunch of radishes, quartered or halved, depending on the size (see tip)
1–2 large cucumbers, peeled and cubed
1–2 avocadoes, thinly sliced
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes, preferably multicolored
1/3 cup mixed whole olives (optional)
1 cup microgreens (optional)
9 round crackers (I used Mary’s)
3–7 longer crackers, like breadsticks or Absolutely Flatbreads
Sabra Classic Hummus or your favorite chummus, placed in a small round serving dish
3–6 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons Gefen Maple Syrup
2 tablespoons Tuscanini Apple Cider Vinegar
3 teaspoons mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
Season tuna steaks by sprinkling all over with salt and pepper.
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until hot. Add tuna steaks to the pan and sear 30 seconds to one minute per side, depending on desired doneness.
Transfer to a cutting board. Slice when cool.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Carefully lower eggs into water. Lower heat slightly to reach a gentler boil and cook six and a half minutes.
Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and chill about two minutes.
Peel eggs when cool. When ready to plate, slice and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Lay a bed of lettuce on the board. If using chummus, place off-center on the board, to act as an anchor.
Begin assembling your vegetables in little clusters around the board. For maximum visual impact, alternate between green and red colors: pair green beans alongside radishes, cucumbers near tomatoes, etc.
Place green beans in a top corner to draw the eye upward. Make sure to leave a spot for the tuna to shine.
If using crackers, place in irregular clusters. For visual balance, you can place the longer crackers in a corner opposite the green beans.
Place tuna and eggs.
Finally, drizzle dressing over the board and sprinkle with some microgreens, if using.
