To make a classic salad from the south of France a bit heartier for a weeknight family meal, we've transformed a tuna Nicoise into a stovetop couscous casserole. Bonus: The recipe serves eight, so you'll have more than enough to spare for lunches or a leftover dinner. You'll also be able to prepare this Mediterranean-inspired meal when entertaining company without having to do ingredient multiplication (at just over a dollar a serving, it's a budget-friendly menu pick)!
1. Cook couscous according to package directions.
2. Over medium-high heat, bring a medium-size pan filled with water to boil. Cook potatoes for 10 minutes; drain. In a large bowl, mix together tuna, green beans, olives and potatoes. Once couscous is cooked, mix it into tuna-vegetable mixture.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice and zest, Dijon, onion, garlic, vinegar, oil, parsley, salt and pepper. Pour dressing over tuna-couscous mixture.
4. Heat large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-high, mist pan with cooking spray and saut? tuna-couscous mixture for about 5 minutes or until thoroughly warmed. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
