I saw a picture of a Nicoise Salad on Flickr and it looked good so I packed my own version for lunch in the office. I left off the olives and added feta cheese.
Here is what you need for 1 salad:
As much lettuce as you want to eat. My salads range from 2-3 cups
2 oz left over roasted potatoes
1/2 can can albacore tuna
a handful of lightly steamed green beans, cut into pieces
1 oz reduced fat feta cheese
a handful of grape tomatoes cut in half
1 boiled egg, sliced
Arrange the toppings however you like on top of your lettuce and serve with a vinaigrette dressing. I used Ken’s Steakhouse Light Balsamic Vinaigrette.
