Nicoise Salad
I love this salad because you can switch out the protein and some of the veg and still have a great meal. You can do asparagus instead of green beans, salmon or chicken instead of tuna. As long as there are potatoes, egg, olive, and a protein dressed with a simple vinaigrette, it’s Niçoise.
