Light Nicoise Salad
I love a good salad. One that's colourful, nourishing and easy to make. This salad does the trick on all levels. I was over for lunch at a girlfriend's house one day and watched in awe as she effortlessly threw this lunch together for us and I had to share the recipe with you. Enjoy!
