Potato Salad Nicoise Recipe

This is a very easy to make potato salad nicoise recipe. A "nicoise" salad contains potatoes, but is far from the usual potato salad.

Traditionally a nicoise salad calls for green beans and tuna. Our version uses a mayonnaise based salad dressing. You will often also see nicoise salad dressed with a vinaigrette dressing. Both are good.

The addition of hard boiled eggs, tomatoes and olives makes this a hearty salad, perfect for lunch or a light dinner, served with warm with crusty rolls and a great dessert. Or try it with our light fluffy buttermilk biscuits.

Cook potatoes until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water. Slip skins off and slice. Cook green beans under just tender crisp. Drain and immediately rinse them in cold water to retain their color.

In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, onion, lemon juice, mustard, garlic salt and pepper, Add potatoes, green beans and tuna. Toss, breaking up tuna into chunks, until mixture is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate. To serve, mound salad on lettuce-lined plate and garnish with eggs, olives and tomato wedges.
