French Salad Niçoise with Lemon-Dill Dressing

French Salad Niçoise with Lemon-Dill Dressing | kumquatblog.com @kumquatblog recipe

disclosure: this post is associated with an ad campaign for chicken of the sea tuna. all opinions are my own.

last week i shared this grilled barbecue chicken pizza in the spirit of using ingredients in your pantry, fridge, and freezer.

well, today’s recipe comes to you from that very same ethos. i don’t know about you, but i always seem to have a can of tuna in my pantry. actually it’s kind of mandatory.

there are those people, you know them, who have a deep-freeze loaded with pounds of frozen meat. i am not one of those people. nor am i an efficient costco/sam’s shopper. i don’t stock up in bulk or have a freezer full of meat or poultry, so having a back-up easy protein (that’s not a nut) in my pantry is often a life-saver.

and the even bigger score is that my kids love it. a quick and easy stir together tuna salad (with a ton of pecans!), a last minute tuna melt sandwich, or my fave, this french salad niçoise with lemon-dill dressing.

this is such a great spring salad. to welcome warmer weather. on the patio with a cool glass of something bubbly.
