Nicoise Salmon Salad

 

Nicoise Salmon Salad (dairy free, gluten free)

IMG_7286.jpg

I was inspired to recreate this recipe after having something similar at Nordstrom. That’s right, some of the Nordstrom stores have restaurants in them. Surprisingly, they actually have good food. If your ever there I recommend their white chocolate bread pudding. No it’s not at all healthy (tons of sugar, dairy, and gluten) but you know, moderation. I normally am not drawn to something like salmon at a restaurant, but I figured I would give it a try. I’m so glad I did! My version is slightly different, but still packs the flavor and is free from anything you don’t want. If your wondering how to pronounce the name it’s, Nee Swaz. This salad actually originates from the French city of Nice. Typically this salad is served with hard boiled eggs, olives, tomatoes, and green vegetables like green beans. Having said that, you can put whatever you want it on it. Make it your own!
