Nicoise Salad with Tuna, Green Beans, Hard Boiled Eggs and Tomatoes Recipe

This Nicoise Salad is a traditional French salad with Mediterranean flavors. This salad is ideal for a light and refreshing lunch or dinner, with tender green beans, juicy cherry tomatoes, hearty tuna, and briny Kalamata olives. The addition of hard boiled eggs increases the protein content and makes it more filling. The dressing is a simple combination of red wine vinegar and olive oil that perfectly complements the flavors of the salad.
