Salad Nicoise with Lemon Caper Dressing
2018-01-20 09:16:00
Serves 6
The older I get the more I realize how we each share the same kind of joys, burdens and heartaches. This is the year of the woman . . . and let me say I can FEEL it. I feel like more than ever I am taking my life to a new level. It seems like great things are happening every day. And not only great things but making HUGE changes and SHIFTS in my own LIFE. After 22 years of marriage I am getting a divorce as sad as it seems - I feel deep down in my heart like it is the BEST for not only me, but for everyone involved. When people hear about it the first thing they say is, "I'm sorry." No need to be sorry it is GOOD and as hard as it may be right now, everyone and everything is going to be BETTER off soon. Sometimes people grow apart and there are many reasons that cause it. It is no one's fault . . . it is just a FACT of LIFE. No matter what happens I know that I am strong enough to survive this and that I have the LOVE of so many special friends and family members. It is a true BLESSING to see them offer to help and check in on me daily, weekly or monthly. I have found that my cooking has become therapy for me . . . it gives me an outlet to create and step away from the stress of my daily life. I hope that in some small way I can INSPIRE you to cook and create and share your LOVE with those people in your life . . . because in the end (the end of the day or the end of a lifetime) that is what truly matters. Oh and as side note - I hope you enjoy this latest creation - Scrumptious Salad Nicoise with Lemon Caper Dressing Sending you LOVE and LIGHT. . . Cecelia

Scumptious Salad Nicoise Recipe with Lemon Caper Dressing
This makes a great dinner option. And talk about healthy, even the dressing is healthy made with fresh lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil. Salad Nicoise is one of my personal favorites. When I go out to lunch if there is a salad nicoise on the menu I am the first to order it. (I prefer fresh tuna –
but when you are in a pinch a good quality Albacore tuna is excellent.

One of my favorite parts of this salad is the small and tender Yukon gold potatoes. They add the perfect comfort to this Scumptious Salad Nicoise Recipe with Lemon Caper Dressing. The dressing was easy to make and I simply chopped the capers a little to add a slightly briny flavor. (I love the combination with the tuna!)
