Nicoise Salad
For me, a Nicoise salad is the perfect antidote to the excesses of Christmas and New Year festivities! It is simple, clean, quick and easy! I often change the ingredients based on what I have, but I do like to always include tuna, olives, capers, eggs and a crisp lettuce. I always add a little more lemon juice to the dressing too - to make it extra tart!
