Nicoise%20Salad.JPG
I couldn’t decide what to fix for dinner last night. Then I remembered that I had one jar of tuna left that my husband’s cousins had given us from their catch in Mexico. So I decided to fix a Nicoise Salad. Minus the olives (I forgot to put any on the salad). A quick stop at the store on the way home for some green beans and eggs. I didn’t follow any recipe-just made a simple dressing of lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, parsley,garlic,salt, pepper, and some caper juice. I hard boiled some eggs, blanched green beans, and cooked a couple of potatoes until soft. That was placed on top of lettuce that was tossed with the dressing, then tomato wedges were added and capers were sprinkled on top. Maybe this isn’t a true Nicoise, but I love this salad. I sometimes make it with a simple salmon fillet on top instead of the tuna. A healthy, delicious dinner with a slice of toasted bread and a glass of wine.

WHAT’S FOR DINNER? NICOISE SALAD — 8 Comments

  1. I haven’t had a salad
    nicoise in a long time. This is a good reminder…mmmm love your photos. They make me so hungry.

  2. Yum. We also often have a nicoise-like salad for dinner. I like some crumbles of blue or goat cheese for more tang sometimes. I love all the different flavors in each forkful.
