Salad Nicoise

 

Ingredients for 4 Nicoise salads:

4 large slices of smoked salmon,
8 anchovi fillets - optional,
4 boiled eggs,
12 cherry tomatoes,
4 tbsp. kalamata olives,
2 fresh lemons, or as needed,
1 Tbsp. capers from a jar,
4 handfuls spring mix greens,
red wine vinaigrette to taste.

Recipe:

1. Toss the spring mix greens with the red wine vinaigrette and serve the salad in four dinner plates.

2. Arrange the rest of the ingredients in the way seen in the picture.

3. Put 2 anchovy fillets on top of every salad, if using.

Interesting info:

Salad Nicoise is named after the city of Nice in France. It is often served in restaurants with cooked potatoes green beans and other vegetables in it.

I left the anchovies in my Nicoise salad as an option in order to make it more appealing to the people who do not like anchovies.
