Salmon Nicoise Salad

Salmon Niçoise Salad is a vibrant, protein-packed dish featuring seared salmon, crisp greens, boiled potatoes, olives, green beans, and hard-boiled eggs, all drizzled with a tangy vinaigrette. It’s a fresh and satisfying twist on the classic French salad.

Ingredients

1 pound small red-skinned potatoes (about 10)
8 ounces green beans, trimmed
1/4 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 romaine lettuce heart, chopped
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 15-ounce can skinless, boneless wild alaskan pink salmon
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
1 15-ounce can no-salt-added white beans, drained and rinsed

Directions

Put the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool, then thinly slice.
Meanwhile, put the green beans in a microwave-safe bowl and add a splash of water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and pat dry; set aside.
Make the dressing: Whisk the yogurt, vinegar and olive oil in a medium bowl; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Toss the romaine with 1 tablespoon of the dressing in a large bowl.
Divide the romaine among bowls. Arrange the red onion, green beans, salmon, olives, potatoes, tomatoes and white beans on top. Drizzle with the remaining dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
