{Almost} Salade Niçoise

I have really been slacking off in the cooking department lately so I thought I'd better make a nice dinner tonight for a change. I decided on Salade Niçoise because we have beans, tomatoes, and little potatoes from our garden right now.

I have two recipes for Salade Niçoise and they both call for all that stuff up there, but they also call for anchovies, olives, and capers, which I was too lazy to get. So I'm calling this {Almost} Salade Niçoise.

But it still looks darn good to me.

Look at those cute little purple potatoes we grew. I think I've told you about our potato patch. We never actually plant them, they just keep coming up in the same spot every year. We got about 24 potatoes this year. Amazing yield, eh?

And of course the tomatoes in California are always lovely. Plenty of sunshine and heat.

I wish these were farm fresh free range eggs, but they are from the grocery store.

But those green beans were picked just minutes before I cooked them and they are delicious.

And the tuna is packed in Olive Oil and high in Omega 3.

So that's what we had for dinner last night. I'm making baby steps back toward real cooking again here Amongst The Oaks.
