minutesInspired 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.
Ingredients
8 eggs
8 previously boiled new potatoes
500 g ham
20 green beans boiled breifly and cooled in cold water
12 cherry tomatoes
1 small head of lettuce or mixed salad leaves
For the dressing
7 tbsp Olive Oil
3 tbsp lemon juice or wine vinegar
0.5 tsp French mustard
garlic clove peeld and crushed
0.5 tsp salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
1 tsp thyme
Directions
- Boil and peel the eggs.
- Lay the lettuce in a salad bowl or 4 divide among individual bowls.
- Add the potatoes, beans, ham and tomatoes.
- Top with the boiled eggs.
- Pour the dressing over the salad (use as much or as little as you like)
Notes
- Tip: The easiest way to make a salad dressing is to put all of the ingredients in a clean jam jar, put the lid on and shake vigorously.
