This is the only salad I've ever eaten and wanted more of!! I'm not a huge salad person, but with the potatoes, tuna and eggs this is a proper, hearty meal. That dressing is absolutely fantastic as well; I wanted to drink it!!

I've made salad nicoise many times and love it. One day at work I asked my Vietnamese co-worker what nicoise meant? He said "Ohhh, fancy French salad!" Sigh.... Then I asked since it means salad, isn't "salad nicoise redundant? Should one say I had nicoise for lunch today? "Yes" ;)

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!! This hearty salad is a meal in itself. I followed Rita's suggestion and doubled the dressing ingredients which was perfect for us. Can't wait to make it again. Thanks for sharing, SueVM.

Délicieux! Yummo! This hearty salad was a part of Menu #28853. It did need a touch more dressing for DH. I enjoyed as is. I did use a fig balsamic vinegar. Made for ZWT5. Merci.
