Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or craving a savory snack, these tarragon tuna niçoise cups are the ultimate satisfier and are enough to feed a crowd. Starting with frozen puff pastry sheets for the utmost convenience, we then stuff them with tuna and green beans that have been lightly dressed, and top with olives and tomatoes for the ultimate niçoise experience. We also love the addition of fragrant and herbaceous tarragon, which is whisked into the dressing and garnished on top for extra color.
