The Bougie Ingredients Gordon Ramsay Uses To Elevate Tuna Salad

By ANDREW AMELINCKX
Gordon Ramsay takes tuna salad to a whole other dimension with such bougie ingredients as ahi tuna, quail egg, French green bean salad, and tapenade.
He also forgoes bread for a Triscuit cracker and even has an upscale name for it: "Triscuit niçoise," a riff on the classic French salad niçoise
Ramsay's tuna salad begins with lightly seared ahi tuna and a lightly poached quail egg, which is the perfect size for sitting on a small, square cracker.
Ramsay told Tasting Table, "It fits beautifully. The dimensions of the biscuit are these amazing little snacks — canapés — and they're sort of two-bite wonders."
The dish is finally finished with tapenade and green bean salad. Ramsay’s tapenade typically includes black olives, anchovies in olive oil, capers, and garlic.
His green bean salad typically includes blanched green beans in a simple honey mustard vinaigrette. These ingredients take this humble dish from pedestrian to sumptuous.
