Nicoise Salad 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.

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

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

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.

Twist on the Nicoise salad. Can also be served in a pita.

Made this one up on a whim needing a quick yummy dinner.

A nice lunch salad - even better on a bed of lettuce!

This is a great salad and you can cut back on the olive oil or add a low fat Caesar Salad dressing if you wish.

Another one of my mother's recipes....she'd make this instead of mayonnaise based potato salad. I make mine with leftover baked potatoes [I wrap potatoes in foil and cook them in a slow cooker for 8 hours]. I'm entering this for my reference as I make this often when we go on road trips and for picnics.

Have leftover grilled salmon or tuna? Turn it into a wonderful salad for lunch.

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.
