This salad was a disappointment. The ingredients were not fresh and the dressing was too oily.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

This salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less olives and capers next time.

I've made this salad a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's so easy to make and the ingredients are readily available. I love that I can customize it to my liking, adding or subtracting ingredients as I see fit.

This chopped nicoise salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the combination of flavors and textures. I especially liked the way the briny olives and capers played off the sweetness of the tomatoes and green beans.
