Niçoise salads typically contain olives, capers, tomatoes, and tuna. The addition of pasta makes it a hearty meal.
Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked wide egg noodles
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped capers
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 (12-ounce) can solid white tuna in water, drained and flaked
3/4 cup halved grape tomatoes
4 large green leaf lettuce leaves
2 tablespoons chopped pitted niçoise or kalamata olives
Directions:
1. Cook noodles according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Rinse and drain under cold water until cool. Drain well; set aside.
2. Combine shallots and next 6 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk.
3. Combine noodles, tuna, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Add shallot mixture; toss gently to coat.
4. Spoon 1 cup of noodle mixture on each of 4 lettuce-lined plates. Sprinkle olives evenly over salads.
