The Exquisite Salade Nicoise

This delicious salad is a traditional dish originating from the south of France more exactly from Nice.
It is so delicious, nutritious and refreshing that it is a complete meal in one plate.
Something that Anglo Saxon are use to but in France we rarely have one plate that will comprise of our entire dinner. Usually we will have 3 or 4 dishes, which will complete our dinner.

I love this salad, it feels so Mediterranean and clean. You can also make it the easy way with canned Tuna fish but I highly suggest that you try it with fresh seared tuna as well.

  8. Sear the tuna fish lightly on both side for about 3 to 5 minutes altogether. Keep the center rare or pink.

    Born and raised in France, I left my home country in my late teens pursuing a dream. I knew I would live in the USA and that it was my destiny.
    Indeed it was. I met my spiritual teacher in my early 30s and this is when everything changed for me.

    I now teach yoga and nutrition, offering Intuitive Health Coaching in private sessions. Working with clients from all walks of life.

    Naturally and very simply, I work with the body's deficiency to bring it back into balance giving it the nutrition it needs, with wholefoods, herbal remedies, vitamins, and other modalities. The body does the rest!
    Working with both men and women, who are desperate in regaining their health without medications.
    It works! I have done it over and over again.

    In my spare time I love to grow an organic vegetable and herb garden. Have raised happy free roaming chicken and I Love nature and everything that lives in it.
    I am an avid Light & Sound Practitioner which is where I draw all my strength from for all my yoga and nutrition classes.
    Look for me in Sandia Park, NM in East Mountains of NM where I teach Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Therapeutic Yoga, Revitalize Flow, Restore & heal Yoga, Nutrition Course, Posture Class, Rehab injury clinic @ Higher Altitude Yoga
