Niçoise Salad {quick & easy}

August 25, 2019 by Erica 2 Comments

Nicoise Salad

I’m lazy about cooking when it’s warm outside. And I’m usually craving salads. This state of mind and body calls for quick and easy meals, like this Niçoise salad, that are loaded with protein and hardy veggies with a salty flavor.

To make this, grab fresh produce, boil a few eggs, open a can or two of wild-sourced tuna, add some capers and olives, and you can easily pull together a Niçoise salad.

While you can use any fish, I prefer fresh fish to canned, but in a pinch or time crunch, canned fish works well. When you have time, add some fresh salmon or tuna to the plate. Or make it vegetarian and keep the fish out and add other sources of protein.

    This salad is delicious! I have been eating it for the past three days for lunch and I’m not sick of it yet. The ingredients make me so happy! The only thing I changed was sub’ing raw sugar snap peas for the green beans because that’s what I had in the fridge. Thank you for this simple and super satisfying lunch!
