This vegetarian take on a traditional Niçoise salad omits the fish and piles on plenty of vegetables.

Step 2
Gently toss green beans and potatoes with the remaining 2 tsp. vinaigrette; arrange on top of the salad greens. Top with tomatoes, egg, olives, and feta and serve.

Tips

Tip: To make a quick homemade lemon vinaigrette, whisk 2 Tbsp. lemon juice with 1/2 tsp. minced garlic, 1/4 tsp. dried thyme, and 1/8 tsp. each salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil until blended. Extra dressing will keep, covered, in the refrigerator, for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before using.

Delicious and very satisfying. I think better than the authentic Nicoise Salad. I added a smidgen of honey to my vinegarette. Will be making this salad often!

Made double batch meal prep for week. If do this, don't dress the salad until ready to eat. However, do dress the potatoes and beans so that they can absorb the flavor of the vinegarette

I really enjoyed this recipe. I didn't find it labor intensive at all. I cooked the beans and potatoes together, just pulled out the green beans earlier than the potatoes. Of course if you need more calories, adding another egg or tuna is easy to do. The lemon vinaigrette was delicious and I will make again.

This recipe (like all Nicoise salads) was a ton of work, but it wasn't good enough to make it worth it. It was bland, and needed tuna or salmon to be filling.

Very light and fresh. I added champagne vinegar to the vinaigrette recipe. Delicious alternative to my usual salads. Will make again!
