Delish & Decadent Tuna Niçoise Salad
November 17, 2023
Hey There, I'm Ryann Nicole.
I’m a recovered binge eater who changed the story from something that happened to me to something that happened for me. Now, I’m a licensed therapist teaching you to do the same.
My mission? To help you ditch food stress and live your life with mental peace and freedom every single day!
Ryann again, back with another delish recipe to try out this week… and potentially add to your meal rotation! If you haven’t had the pleasure of eating a good tuna niçoise salad, then prepare to have your life changed. (Not to be dramatic or anything 😉)
Get ready to embark on a culinary journey to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean with our Tuna Niçoise Salad! It’s like a delicious postcard from the French Riviera, featuring tender tuna, crisp veggies, and a symphony of flavors that will make your taste buds sing. Imagine colorful cherry tomatoes, vibrant green beans, and perfectly boiled eggs coming together in a delightful dance of freshness.
And let’s not forget the star of the show – succulent tuna, seared to perfection. Tossed with a zesty vinaigrette and topped with briny olives and earthy potatoes, this salad is more than a meal; it’s a taste of paradise. So, grab your fork and prepare to savor the flavors of the French coast, right in your own kitchen! 🥗🍅🥚🐟🌞🇫🇷
Note:
This is not a one-size-fits-all kind of meal! Remember that food is meant to be creative, fun, and enjoyable. So please feel free to customize your Tuna Niçoise Salad with additional ingredients. Think boiled potatoes, anchovies, or Dijon mustard in the dressing to suit your taste preferences. Play around and tweak this recipe, if needed, to find the combination of add-ins that works best for you!
P.S. Not sure if you have seen, but baby Charlotte is here 🥹 Time has truly flown. While this means I am not taking on any new individual clients until 2024, I am NOT leaving you high and dry either. I have some very special offers and releases coming out soon to help jumpstart your healing journey!
