Wolfgang's Seared Ahi Tuna Salad Nicoise
Ok so I decided to make a whole post about my newly found favorite salad... seared ahi tuna salad nicoise. For those of you who don't know me, I'm a big foody. One of my favorite things to do is eat good food. I love dining out and it just so happens so does my boyfriend so it works out well. We love going out to eat and trying different things. So expect a lot of food pictures. Anyways, last Christmas I went to Wolfgang's Steakhouse (one of my fav fine dining restaurants) for brunch and I wasn't really in a steak mood although it is a steak restaurant. I wanted something a little light so I decided to try their seared ahi tuna salad nicoise. I wasn't expecting much since it's just a salad with tuna. But omg when I took my first bite, I was in heaven and I would have to say that was the best salad I've ever eaten. I think what made it taste so good besides the dressing is that the seared tuna had anchovies on top which really complimented each other. From then on, I was obsessed with that salad. But every place I went either didn't have it or didn't make it the same as Wolfgang's (with the achovies on top). I was on a search.. but failed.
Well I had a late lunch yesterday with my friends Cynthia & Sarah and found that they had the tuna salad nicoise. I was overjoyed and excited, but then I read the ingredients and it didn't say anchovies. I was a bit dissapointed because I was craving it so badly. Well I asked the waiter if they put anchovies in their salad nicoise and he said they don't but he could ask the chef to see if they had any and to put some in. Well surprise suprise, they did have anchovies and the chef was nice enough to put them on top of my seared ahi. You don't know how happy I was. Yes I know, I'm easy to please. The salad was delish, but not as good as the one at Wolfgang's. But it did satisfy my salad nicoise craving :)
