Niçoise Salad

The second theme for week 3 of @thelittleplantation’s @eatcaptureshare_ challenge is salad 🌿 I made a Niçoise salad with a lemon and oil dressing. Have you ever had one?

*Recipe*

Salad

- 2 red potatoes, cubed and baked

- half a head of lettuce, washed and cut

- 1 lb. green beans, blanched

- 2 roma tomatoes, quartered

- 1-8oz can of tuna, drained and flaked

- 2 soft-boiled eggs

- 3 T chopped olives

Oil & Lemon Dressing

- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon zest

- 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more, if needed

- 1/2 Tablespoon Dijon mustard

- 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

- 1/2 cup fine fresh oil

- Freshly ground pepper

- 1 t anchovy paste (optional)

1. Combine all the ingredients for the lemon and oil dressing and mix well.

2. Layer on the lettuce first. Place some of the potatoes in the center. Arrange the green beans, tomatoes, tuna, eggs, and olives on top of the lettuce around the potatoes. Just before serving pour over a generous amount of dressing and toss the salad.
