Salmon Niçoise Salad Recipe With Champagne Herb Vinaigrette Dressing

Cooking Time: About 30 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Serves: 2

If you are looking for a delightfully tasty salad to add to your recipe collection, try this Niçoise salad or "Salade Niçoise" (pronounced "nee-swaz", from Nice, France). It is a French "composed" salad with skillfully arranged ingredients on a plate. It is a classic salad that appeals to most because it's typically composed of tomatoes, olives, anchovies, potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, green beans, and a protein, such as fresh tuna.

Our take on this classic salad uses salmon, leftover asparagus, eggs, olives, canned artichokes, red onion for color, etc. (pretty much whatever we had on hand at the time).

The salmon was cooked the day before with lemon, a dash of pepper, Cherchies® Garlic Seasoning, and flaked with a fork. We also boiled the potato and egg the day before, so assembly the next day was easy peasy.

The Pièce De Résistance of this salad is The Champagne Tarragon Vinaigrette, featuring Cherchies® Champagne Mustard, which married this divine salad's flavors together.

Not only is this refreshing salad a must-have addition to your recipe repertoire, but It's also a fabulous brunch, lunch, or dinner option. You have to try it! It is so yummy.

Preparation

Tear the lettuce into pieces and place on a plate (Here we kept the leaves in tact for a pretty presentation). Season lightly with salt and pepper. Slice the artichokes, the egg (you could easily use a knife. I used an egg slicer)...

The onion, the potato, and the green onion.

Now, it's time to artfully assemble this delicious salad. This isn't necessary but it makes for a pretty presentation, especially if serving to guests. Arrange the sliced egg, the potato, olives, the cooked asparagus...
