Salad Nicoise
The explosive flavors of the French classic, Nicoise Salad, make for a great meal to share with friends and family. The meal is best when allowed to chill, so I’ve presented it on Sunday when you may have extra time to prepare this dish. This salad is a perfect warm weather meal that takes advantage of seasonal green beans and new potatoes. You may choose to cook a 12 oz. piece of fresh tuna on the barbecue, but you can also simply use canned light tuna.
