If you didn’t take French, I’ll go ahead and explain that this salad uses green beans as the base, instead of lettuce (thus Nicoise in the name). I took Latin (why?) so I had to be educated on this point. But, if it’s French, I’m here for it!
This is another recipe inspired by Jamie Oliver’s show, Jamie Oliver’s 5-Ingredient Meals So given the fact that it a) sounds fancy and b) only requires 5 ingredients, it’s a win-win!
This salad makes a great light meal, and comes together so fast too! In my opinion, Salmon adds the deliciousness factor, while the black olive/Greek yogurt dressing on the green beans is a surprisingly yummy combo! Go ahead and mix up your salad game – buy green beans instead!
