Having made Salade Nicoise many times before, I was looking forward to making this version to see the difference. I guess my family doesn't like sweeter salad dressings, as this one just didn't fulfill our expectations. The rest of the salad was good.
0 HelpfulThis was good and filling, but it felt like a lot of fuss for a salad. I'll probably not plan this one for a weeknight in the future.
0 HelpfulThis was so flavorful and I loved the warm veggies with the cold salad. All the textures went so well together. I sound like a foodie in this review and I'm not. ;0 It was very delicious!
0 HelpfulExcellent salad that was easy to make. Potatoes, green beans and chives mixture was a great addition to the salad and was what made this salad a satisfying and fulfilling meal.
