How to Make Nicoise-Inspired Salad
Low carb and packed with protein, this simpler version of Salade Nicoise relies on pantry staples, and can be eaten on it’s own or paired with another side for a more filling meal. You can sub ingredients for what you have on hand—use any kind of salad green instead of arugula; any kind of olive will work, or sub something like capers or feta cheese for the same savory, briny flavor; instead of tomatoes (or in addition!) you could use bell peppers, cucumber, sugar snap peas, or any other fresh vegetables. If you don’t have bottled dressing, you can make a simple vinaigrette with lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper.
