Nicoise Recipes

Perfect for a summer lunch or a light supper, this iconic salad from the South of France is as hearty as it is simple to prepare.

If you really want to wow your friends and family this summer, try my take on a French classic salad with seared tuna steaks and two homemade dressings.

***You will need a food processor to create these dressings.***

***This is by no means a quick recipe, but it is relatively easy.

If you leave out the potatoes, the salad has 14 g carb and 426 cal per serving.

This is a great salad for the summer season. It's great for lunch or diner. High in protein and vitamin A.

This is not really a salade Nicoise, as it lacks potatoes, olives, and hard-boiled eggs. But it's quick and satisfying, and healthy.

This is the same recipe as in my Lunch cookbook, only increased quantities for dinner!

My husband found this recipie in his Men's Health Magazine Training Guide 2010. It is a very satisfying sandwich and is low in fat. To lower calories you can leave off the egg.

A true French favorite. Easy to make ahead of time -- very appealing on a platter.

You can use either nicoise or kalamata olives for this recipe.

Use meyer lemons if you can to round out the flavor of the dressing.
