Salade Nicoise

[QSis]

Here's my version of another great summer dinner salad. Arranged salads are so cool! :smile:

Imported tuna (I like the stuff that comes in a glass jar from Italy)
Boiled Yukon Gold potatoes
Green beans (I can't easily get haricots verts)
Hard boiled egg
Nicoise olives
Tomatoes
Green onions
Bed of lettuce

Dijon vinagrette

That looks great! :thumb:

I'm getting better at making these!

Three important things:

1. Season each item separately
2. Use a great imported tuna in oil
3. Make a delicious dressing and just LIGHTLY drizzle (I made a garlic herbed dijon vinegrette, based on Jacques Pepin's dressing for Salade Nicoise)

We have salade Nicoise every few weeks in summer - a tasty way to get all of your major food groups in one dish. I like to make it with salmon the best, but salmon has become very expensive here in the last several months, so we may be reverting to tuna once the weather warms up. Nice pics!
