If you know me I am always looking for those recipes that make satisfying meals or snacks I can tote around with me easily. Inspiration for the broccoli salad, buffalo chicken sandwiches etc.
A recent all day trip to Medford for a day full of equine Massage fueled me to search out and create another fulfilling salad recipe.
Chopped Nicoise Salad
3 Med. Smooth Skin Potatoes
1/3C Green olives sliced
1/2 Ib Green Beans trimmed to 1 in pieces
1/4c diced red onion
1 can of tuna in water drained
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
Juice of one lemon at least 1/4 cup
2 Tbs olive oil
2 tsp. Dijon mustard or spicy brown mustard
dash of red pepper flakes
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cube potatoes and steam about 7-10 mins add the green beans and steam another 6 mins or so until it is all tender. Meanwhile chop onion, slice olives and combine with tuna in a large bowl. Add the potatoes and green beans after they have cooled slightly. To make the dressing whisk lemon juice, olive oil, mustard and pepper flakes pour over potato tuna mixture and stir to combine. Toss with chopped lettuce season with salt and pepper and enjoy!
*Notes
Chopped egg would be a good addition to this
I made the salad the night before omitting the lettuce and stored in the fridge. In the morning I added the lettuce and tossed it up.
