Steam Combi Recipe: Salad Nicoise

This is one of those recipes where a Steam oven makes it so much more convenient to make. Everything that is cooked (except for the tuna if you are using fresh) goes into the steam oven, then it is all tossed in the dressing. Easy peasy and delicious and healthy too.
You can be as creative with this recipe as you like adding whatever protein you want to the base ingredients. Tinned tuna works perfectly for an easy midweek meal, or go all out with other seafood like Scallops and Prawns for a really special dish.
I like a small piece of seared Fresh Tuna to top my Salad
