Protein Packed Salad Nicoise
PREP TIME: 20 mins | SERVING SIZE: 2
I spent a year at school in Paris and I think the only thing I can say in French is Salad Niçoise (French pronunciation: [ni’swaz])! I adore this Salad and it packs an awesome protein punch after a hard morning workout!! It’s so simple to make, the dressing is delicious and it’s oh so good for you!

2 fillets of your favourite Fish (Salmon, Snapper, Tuna) or use a high quality canned Tuna like Wild Planet
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 Tbsp. Cilantro
4 cups of Organic Mixed Greens or Lettuce
1⁄2 cup Steamed String Beans
1 Carrot, sliced
1⁄2 cup Cooked and Diced Sweet Potato, Yam or Breadfruit

12 Nicoise Olives

1 clove Garlic

1⁄4 Tsp. Ground Black Pepper
