NICOISE SALAD

NICOISE SALAD

In this episode, I'd like to share with you 'Nicoise Salad' recipe. French for 'as prepared in Nice'. It is not just a salad but a full meal salad. We like to eat it for dinner, especially during the summer. It tastes as good as it looks! And this salad is meant to be a 'composed' salad, with each ingredient arranged on a serving plate, then drizzled with the dressing. So you need a plan before starting :)
