Pesto Nicoise Salad image

A fresh, delicious, and filling twist on an old classic. The salad is named for the nicoise olives, but I use kalamata since nicoise are not available. This recipe is adapted from the June/July 2009 issue of "Everyday with Rachael Ray." The pesto I used is Recipe #220704.

I'm not a big fan of anchovies, so I left them out of the dressing. The salad was still delicious.
