Nicoise Salad image

For a summer lunch or dinner, one of my favorite salads. There is always a debate going on about this salad, what should be in there and what not. I don't use potatoes in mine, but if you like to add them, do so. I have added the sardines because I like them in this salad, but you can leave them out. The dressing can be drizzled over the salad instead of mixing it in, or you can use your own favorite dressing. Serve with some nice bread, and a glass of wine (of course!) Cook time of the beans is not included.

This salad was easy to make and packed with flavor. I used fresh tuna from the fish market, and it was cooked perfectly. The dressing was also delicious, and I loved the addition of the capers.

I'm not usually a fan of Niçoise salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of the anchovies and olives gave it a salty, briny flavor that I loved. I'll definitely be making this again.

This Niçoise salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect, and the dressing was light and tangy. I will definitely be making this again.
