How to make keto Niçoise salad: step-by-step guide
Cooking methods
Preparation steps
- Start by gathering all your ingredients and measuring them out according to the recipe instructions.
- Rinse and pat dry the salad greens, green beans, radishes, cucumber, and any other veggies you're using.
- Snip off the ends of the green beans and thinly slice your radishes and cucumber.
- Briefly boil the green beans for about 2-3 minutes until they're tender. Drain them and set aside.
- To make hard-boiled eggs, put them in a pot of water and bring it to a boil. Let them cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
- If you're using avocado, slice it open and remove the pit. For bacon, cook it until it's crispy and then crumble it into bits.
Cooking instructions
- Heat up the avocado oil in a skillet that's at least 10" in diameter, using medium-high heat.
- As the oil heats, season your salmon with salt. Place the salmon in the skillet, skin side down.
- Cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the skin easily lifts off the skillet. Flip it over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set it aside.
- In a small jar, mix together all the ingredients for the dressing. Give it a good shake and set it aside.
- To plate, evenly distribute the salad greens between two bowls. Top them with the blanched green beans, hard-boiled egg, radishes, olives, onion, cucumber, and the slices of your cooked salmon.
Chef's pro tip
When preparing a salmon niçoise salad, avoid overcooking the fish. Shoot for salmon that's cooked just right—when it effortlessly releases from the pan and retains a hint of pink in the middle. Doing so will give you tender, flavorful salmon that elevates your salad game to the next level.
