Veggie Nicoise Salad
More and more people in my workplace are becoming vegetarians. When we cook or eat together, the focus is on fresh produce. This salad combines some of our favorite ingredients in one dish...and with the hard-boiled eggs and kidney beans, it delivers enough protein to satisfy those who are skeptical of vegetarian fare. —Elizabeth Kelley, Chicago, Illinois

Loved it and easy to sub in other veggies and beans thanks
Haven't tried this yet, but it looks delicious. My only problem is the herbs--I only have dried ones. I need to find out how much to use. Cannot wait to try it!
Loved the vinaigrette! This salad had several elements, so it can be time consuming; however the bright, fresh salad at the end made it all worth it.
Lovely and yummy!
Very versatile salad! Depending on what's in season you can omit or add veggies to your choice. (Asparagus was recently $6/lb - no way :) ) I can leave out the eggs for my vegan son. I have used mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and Brussel sprouts also. The vinaigrette is very good. Good to use on those decorative Thanksgiving and Christmas platters/dishes you don't know what to do with since most people are shying away from sweets. Looks lovely! Thanks so much for sharing!

Made this for dinner this week and it was delicious. Almost too pretty to eat. For us, it needed a bit more vinaigrette, so its a good thing a made a bit extra.As for the whole discussion about whether or not eggs are vegetarian, my vegetarian friends and family eat eggs, but my vegan friends don't. I think its massively up to each individual's interpretation. For Pete's sake, if you don't like them, then don't eat them.
Looks like something more for a buffet table and for my true vegetarian/vegan pals I would omit the eggs.
Please don't say it's vegetarian when it has eggs. Trust me I know what I am talking about. I am from India. Yes there are those who will not eat meat but will eat eggs those are not technically vegetarians. Yes you can leave eggs out of these recipe to make it vegetarian friendly. Reason I am stressing about what to call is when vegetarian people are doing search for vegetarian items this will come up and those who are truly vegetarians makes them upset. I don't eat eggs but do eat lamb, chicken and turkey. I am not vegetarian. I do have a daughter who is total vegetarian. This looks good enough to make it and if I put eggs on side even my daughter and I can eat it.
So leave the eggs out if you don't think they're for you & throw in some more beans or some garbanzos & it's still good. Sounds like a great salad!
