Niçoise Salad with Salmon

September 5, 2019

Nicoise Salad with Salmon - a healthy gluten free meal!

Summer is still here, and so are meal salads like this Niçoise Salad with Salmon.  Filled with delicious goodness straight from the garden, it is one of my go-to salads for a hearty lunch with the girls or a nice light dinner on the patio.  And it is also gluten-free!

When I grew up, a salad meant one thing.  Iceberg lettuce with tomato and cucumber and a bottle of dressing on the table.  To be honest I still crave that exact salad- so simple.  Of course, my salad game had to dial up a few notches when I started studying nutrition, and meal salads soon became a thing.

Nicoise Salad with Salmon - a healthy gluten free meal!

I was first introduced to “Salade Niçoise” on a trip to France and was instantly in love!  Now, I’m not professing that this is the most traditional version of the salad, but I’m a bit of a rule breaker.  Haha that’s a total lie I’m a massive rule follower.  But I let my inner rebel shine through for this one…  I know, I’m crazy like that;)

Now, you can alter this recipe if you need or want to. For instance, you can just use boiled potatoes (especially at this time of year if you are lucky enough to have fresh potatoes from the garden).  And you can add in or sub other veggie as you wish!

This salad is full of fibre, vitamins and minerals (and heart healthy omega-3 fat thanks to the salmon) – it gets a BIG thumbs up as far as healthy salads go.

Happy rest-of-summer my friends!

If you love meal salads as much as I do you’ll also love this Cowgirl Salad (like the Earl’s Santa Fe Salad), this Falafel Salad, or this Grilled Peach and Corn Salad with Spicy Prawns.

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 1 lb white, red or yellow potatoes (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 salmon fillets, skin on
  • 450 grams green beans (1 small bunch)
  • 200 grams cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
  • 200 grams radishes (cut in quarters)
  • 1 head, green lettuce
  • 75 grams olives
  • 2 mini cucumbers (sliced)
  • 2 eggs (hard boiled)
  • 1/4 cup chopped herbs (ie: dill, chives etc)
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the Dressing:

  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F and bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Cook the eggs to hard boil them, 7-10 minutes depending on how soft you like them.  Remove from the heat, rinse under cold water and peel.  Set aside.

  2. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, toss the potatoes in the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper and roast the potatoes until golden brown, turning half way through (about 15-20 minutes).  Set aside to cool slightly. 

  3. Turn the oven to broil and place the salmon filets on the baking sheet.  Brush a small amount of olive oil on top of the filets and season with salt and pepper.  Broil until done around 8 minutes depending on the thickness of the filets.  Set aside to cool.

  4. In a large platter assemble the ingredients, finishing with the herbs.

  5. Whisk all of the salad dressing ingredients together in a small bowl and serve with the salad!

LAST CALL - ‘Keep it Fraîche’ snack mix is disappearing on the 15th!  It was such a pleasure to partner with @mynakedsnacks on a snack that I am head over heels in love with. 
This is the snack that keeps me fuelled through my crazy busy days!  It’s custom designed with all my favourite trail mix ingredients (helloooo dark chocolate and dried cherries) and available in 3 custom size boxes.
I simply love that the company is locally owned by two kind souls Neil and Riley ... who just had a sweet baby!
Head to the link in my profile to shop and thank you for all of your support for the snack and of course for their company it means the world to me ❤️

Priorities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thinking about them a lot these last few days. I’ve been reading the book ‘Untamed’ by @glennondoyle (have you read it? love to hear your thoughts), and it’s made me really think.  It made me think about my childhood, my relationships (including the one with myself) and what I want to put out to the world in the short time I have here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My last post was sharing our story of my dad’s journey with  Alzheimer’s. We are so lucky to have him at such an early stage of the disease, fully himself.  He is such a gift to us and the world. In sharing this story a floodgate of touching yet heart-wrenching stories poured in.  My heart expanded and broke at the same time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jillian posted something about high functioning anxiety the other day, and I checked most (ok all) of those boxes ... ugh.  The irony is that I live a lot in the future, a little busy body, not really taking the time to enjoy the present - but one day, should I have the same disease as my dad (50% chance), I will truly only have the capacity to live in that moment.  It stopped me dead in my tracks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I wade into 2021 I am doing my best to realign my life to match my priorities - perfect balance isn’t what I’m after, that’s nonsense as far as I’m concerned.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little deep for a Tuesday but that’s where my brain is at today!  Sending love ... as always. ❤️

Without a doubt the most difficult blog post I have ever written.  My sweet incredible funny kind loving dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a diagnosis that tore my heart in two. This is our story.  The post is on the blog FraicheLiving.com 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.  Sending you all love, especially those who have been impacted by this disease. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We remain hopeful, and are reminded on the daily to not take life for granted. ❤️

Travels with this crew... 🤍
My parents & Jillian’s (our moms are sisters) have always travelled together and have had THE MOST incredible adventures (our dads are ridiculously witty - literally the funniest humans). Looking back I can guarantee that those are some of their best memories.
I’m so grateful that we got to do the same last year - I can’t wait for another trip!  And might I say that I wish I was eating my lunch in this spot today!  Thank you again @nimmobayresort
