When there’s nothing to pair with dry and fried pork at home, and I’m feeling a little deprived of vegetables (because kids and hubby only eat meat or mostly meat), a Nicoise Salad is a perfect partner to a quick fried pork chops.  This is an easy and healthy recipe and can stand on its own even without parings because of the egg and tuna. Perfect if youre doing a low carb diet and is looking for a healthy recipe for weight loss.

What makes a great Nicoise Salad? Serious Eats have a very extensive opinion if you want to go and read. This recipe was from Chef Xavier Btesh of French Kusina. He recommends using the freshest vegetable you can find. The French beans can be found at Robinsons or SM Supermarket. My favorite here is the red and green bell pepper. They’re very crunchy and sweet.
