Grilled Seafood Salad Niçoise
Gourmet July 1992

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup olive oil
1 pound 1-inch-thick tuna steak,
cut into 6 pieces
1 large yellow [or zucchini] squash,
cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
9 jumbo shrimp, shelled and
halved lengthwise
12 large sea scallops
1 pound green or wax beans or
a combination, trimmed and
cut into 2-inch lengths
Red leaf lettuce for lining the plates
1 red bell pepper, roasted,
cut into 2-inch pieces
1 pint red or yellow cherry tomatoes or
a combination, quartered
1 cup drained Niçoise olives

Dressing:  In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, mustard, anchovy
paste, thyme, sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Add oil in a stream,
whisking, and whisk dressing until it is emulsified. [We add a clove
of garlic.] Reserve 2 tablespoons dressing.
In another small bowl, arrange tuna pieces and squash slices on a baking
sheet and brush them lightly with reserved dressing. In a bowl toss shrimp
and scallops with 2 tablespoons of remaining dressing. Let mixtures stand
15 minutes.
In a kettle of boiling water cook the beans 5 minutes or until they are
crisp-tender, drain them in a colander and refresh them under cold water.
In another bowl toss beans with 3 tablespoons remaining dressing.
On a rack set 4 to 6 inches over glowing coals, grill tuna 2 1/2 minutes
on each side, the shrimp 4 minutes on each side, and scallops and squash
6 minutes on each side, transferring seafood and squash as it is cooked
to a platter.
Line 6 plates with lettuce, on each plate arrange 2 scallops, halved
horizontally, 3 shrimp halves and 1 piece of tuna, sliced diagonally.
Divide squash, beans, roasted pepper, tomatoes and olives among
plates. Drizzle the remaining dressing over salads or serve it separately.
Serves 6.
