Last night was another "wine tour" evening, and I decided on a different salad. This is a variation on a traditional Nicoise Salad, or Insalata Nizzarda as it's called in Italian. I did not use potatoes as we also had a main pasta course. This salad was composed of steamed artichoke hearts, tuna fish, more of the those yellow string beans, tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, capers and chives. I mixed a fast dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, dijon mustard and a touch of honey, salt and pepper. It was a perfect salad for a hot evening, and we served it with a local chardonnay and grissini on the side.

OMG! What beautiful yolks those eggs have! Are they really that orange colored?
Steamed artichoke hearts are a great complement to the salad. Man, that pic looks mouth-watering. Thanks for sharing. How was the wine? ;)
Piemontese chardonnay is really lovely, Daniel, because it is rarely heavily wooded. It is fresh and appealing and the perfect partner for this kind of salad.
