Leafless Salad Nicoise

Submitted by Isabeau

"Here is an excellent example of a colourful, healthy meal that I put together from the memory of what my husband’s grandparents regularly have for lunch in Niger. It is a leafless version of Salad Nicoise."

• Ingredients: 14

directions

1. Choose vegetables that you like, the more colourful the better. All I have given are optional.
2. Arrange vegetables and tuna (half a can each) so that they look nice on individual plates or a platter.
3. Combine ingredients for dressing in screw top jar and shake well. Serve over salad.

Great idea! So filling, yet all such good things for you. I usually have to have mayo with my tuna, but this was fine with the dressing suggested, no need for those extra calories! Loved it.
