Mixed Seafood Nicoise Salad image

I can't remember where I got this recipe, but it's a good one. This will really impress your friends for a summer time BBQ- takes some effort but so much of it can be done in advance and then you grill the seafood at the last minute. You can simplify this, too, by omitting some of the seafoods or any of the ingredients you aren't in the mood for. If you're not into Nicoise salads, the dressing alone is a recipe worth trying.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I always have a few pieces of cooked salmon or tuna in my fridge, and this is a great way to use them up.
