Kiwi Summer Salad with French Dressing
Description
Inspired by the famous Salad Nicoise (Ni-Swaz) we’ve swapped good ol’ Kiwi ham for the traditional tuna. This salad looks just like a New Zealand summer, fresh and wonderful! We’ve used a few left-over cooked potatoes, beans and lettuce from the garden and of course eggs to make this main course or side salad.
