Nicoise Salad

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325F.

Step 2

In a small bowl combine onion powder, whole grain mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; spread 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto each salmon filet & reserve the remaining. Bake salmon for 15 to 20 minutes, cool & flake into large pieces. Reserve.

Step 3

Mix the remaining mustard mixture with white wine vinegar and olive oil. Reserve.

Step 4

While salmon cooks, prepare veggies: Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, 20-25 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of boiling, add green beans. Drain and rinse under cold water. Separate potatoes & green beans. Halve potatoes. Cool.

Step 5

Build the salad: Add lettuce to a shallow serving bowl or platter. Working in bunches of the same ingredients top the lettuce with components; flaked salmon, potatoes, green beans, hard boiled eggs, kalamata olives & artichoke hearts. Drizzle with reserved mustard vinaigrette.
