Salad Nicoise is my fave salad. I could eat it everyday. Here’s my simple and delicious take on the iconic French salad. Bon appetit!
STEP ONE: In a small pot bring water to a boil. Add 1 egg, a 1/2 cup of string beans, and 2 small potatoes to the boiling water. Remove string beans and egg from the boiling water after 15 minutes and place in a bowl of cold water and set aside. Wash a handful of cherry heirloom tomatoes and slice them in half.
STEP TWO: In a small mixing bowl combine 1 can of tuna or salmon, add 1/4 cup of olive oil mayo, 1 -2 sprigs of fresh dill. Salt and pepper to taste.
STEP THREE: In a small mixing bowl combine 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar, 1-2 sprigs of fresh dill, and 1 tablespoon of dill mustard.
STEP FOUR: Place a 1/2 cup or greens on a plate, add tuna mixture, add tomatoes, green beans, sliced egg, sliced potatoes.
STEP FIVE: Finish off salad nicoise with dill balsamic vinaigrette.
Eat. Enjoy. Be happy!
