Niçoise salad is a timeless classic, but Yalda’s version gives it a light, anti-inflammatory upgrade by removing the starchy potatoes and focusing on clean, nutrient-dense ingredients. This delicious salad is simple to make, incredibly satisfying, and loaded with health benefits.
Packed with high-quality protein and essential omega-3 fatty acids, tuna is a star ingredient in this dish. Tuna supports brain function, reduces inflammation, and aids in heart health. It’s also an excellent source of vitamin D and selenium, both of which play a crucial role in immune and thyroid function.
Olives, another Mediterranean staple, are more than just tasty; they are powerful anti-inflammatory foods rich in monounsaturated fats. These heart-healthy fats help reduce harmful cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health. Olives also contain antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, which protect cells from oxidative damage and promote skin health.
Crisp lettuc, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and eggs bring freshness, crunch, and even more nutrition. Eggs add high-quality protein and essential vitamins like B12, A, and D, contributing to hormone balance and energy production.
Whether you’re preparing lunch for yourself or serving guests, Yalda’s Niçoise Salad is a beautiful, well-balanced meal that supports digestive health, boosts energy, and nourishes your body. It’s gluten-free, grain-free, and free from refined sugars, just whole, healing ingredients in every bite.
