Nicoise Salad with seared ahi perfectly boiled eggs French potato salad green beans tomatoes

If you make one homemade salad this summer, make this. Today we’re making a French nisswa salad from my book. We’re starting out with lemon juice and white wine vinegar. A little anchovi paste and dijon mustard. Finely chopped dill, basil, chives, and parsley. Flaky sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Whisk that all together. No, I didn’t forget the oil. Just doing it the French way. The base is bib or butter lettuce. I found red. The classic recipe is canned tuna, but if you can find fresh ai, sear it with peppercorns. It’s the best. The French potato salad is a salad within a salad. We take boiled sliced red potatoes. We sprinkle it with a little penogree or svenon blanc. Give that a little toss and let that soak in for a few minutes. Extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, and lemon juice. Finely diced shallots, parsley, teragon, and a little dijon. Can’t forget a little salt and pepper. That another toss. Perfectly boiled eggs. blanched French green beans, quartered cherry tomatoes, the classic niss olives, and some capers. And toss. And I’m having it with a nice cold lemonade or a nice chilled rosé. Perfect for summer. Enjoy.
