Salad Tuna Nicoise
with a French vinaigrette

Active: 35 min Total: 35 min
A light salad nicoise is just the right dish for recovering from the heavy foods of the holidays while still enjoying a filling dinner.
Smarts: This would make a great 'mason' jar salad. Put the vinaigrette on the bottom and then layer with tuna, eggs, green beans, tomatoes, and greens.
