Fitness Recipe: Salad Nicoise

Nicoise is definitely not one of those salads with a few cucumber slices and iceberg lettuce leaves that leave you hungry in no time. The balanced ingredients make it both a great lunch and dinner. As well as vegetables in the form of tomatoes, iceberg lettuce and beans, it also contains potatoes to help replenish your complex carbohydrates. And what good meal would be without protein? Here you’ll find two quality sources, which are the tuna and eggs. This is simply a delicious and healthy dish that is perfected with a honey-mustard sauce and olives.

Method:

Boil the smaller potatoes with the thin skins in salted water until tender. Once they are ready, cut them into quarters. Hard-boil the eggs (place the room temperature eggs in boiling water and boil for 10 minutes). Then cool them in ice water, peel the shell and cut them into quarters. Boil the frozen beans in hot and salted water for about 10 minutes, then cool them in ice water and mix them with the potatoes and 3 tbsp of honey – mustard ZERO sauce.

Now you can start serving the meal. Line the plate with iceberg lettuce leaves. If you want to make it easier to eat, cut it up. Place the potato and bean mixture and the sauce in the middle of the salad plate. On top, add the cherry tomatoes cut into smaller pieces, the halved olives and the pieces of tuna from which you have previously drained the oil. Top the salad with the remaining ZERO sauce, season with salt to taste and serve.
