Vegan Nicoise Salad
Salade Nicoise is a salad that originated in the French city of Nice. It is traditionally made of tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, Nicoise olives, and anchovies. Later many variations were brought in by leading chefs including Julia child and Nicoise salad saw the new avatars by adding beans, peppers and seasonal vegetable. I came across this recipe of the vegan Nicoise salad and chose to cook this.
This vegan Nicoise salad is a filling meal by itself. It has all the necessary nutrients that you would need in a meal. The saw vegetables that are added gives the necessary crunch and texture to the salad. The chickpea adds to the taste and the flavouring is added by thyme and the dill powders. Since fresh thyme was available, I have used it instead of thyme powder
By varying the ingredients we can get many versions of this salad. you can choose to add tuna, avocado, cooked beans, cooked potato, black olives and green olives. I have also seen parmesan in one of the variants. The choice is innumerable when you are creative.
Here are some of the other salads Cabbage salad with strawberry vinaigrette, Layered Salad, Roasted Beet and carrot salad, and Avocado tomato salad.

Very interesting take on the salad. Sounds filling as you mentioned.
Beautifully presented Veena. The salad sounds like a really filling meal and the dressing sounds so yum..
The salad looks quite filling and refreshing as well. Such a beautiful presentation Veena.
This is such a classic French recipe and every cooking school teaches how to make this salad though I’ve never made the vegan version I am sure it is delicious for those who dont eat the fresh tuna which is customarily how it is made here
I like how this salad has come out with vegetables. I am sure dressing will be the main key here. delicious share.
