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.

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.
