Tuna Salad, Nantes-Style
Flavors of the Loire Valley
Total time: 15 to 30 minutes
Preparation and cooking time: 30 minutes
(a few minutes if you already have leftover cooked rice)
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
Tuna Salad, Pike with beurre nantais (white butter sauce), sausage with Muscadet wine, Lamb's Lettuce salad… the gastronomy of the French city of Nantes has a reputation for simple flavours based on products from the ocean, the Loire and regional producers who are able to satisfy the most demanding gourmets.

When we speak of a "Nantes-style" salad, we're not referring to any particular recipe. However, it is often synonymous with Lamb's Lettuce salad and the beautiful fresh vegetables that have earned the region such a fine reputation.
