VEGAN NIçOISE-STYLE SALAD
Salade Niçoise is a beautifully composed salad of French origin that looks fancy but is incredibly easy to make. The traditional version is often made with tuna, but here the fish is replaced with baked tofu, which makes a great stand-in. And the array of ingredients-white beans or chickpeas, slender green beans, tomatoes, and olives-makes it a splendid main dish salad for a summer meal, either on busy weeknights or festive occasions.

Steps:
- Make the vinaigrette:
- Combine all ingredients in a tightly lidded bottle and shake thoroughly. Shake well before each use.
- For the salad:
- Steam the green beans just until bright green and tender-crisp. Err on the side of undercooking rather than overcooking. Drain and rinse with cool water until they're at room temperature.
- On a large serving platter or large shallow serving bowl, arrange the lettuce or greens. Scatter the basil or parsley over it. Arrange the green beans, tofu, tomatoes, beans, olives, and artichoke hearts, if desired, in separate mounds over the lettuce or greens. Top everything with a few thinly sliced rings of red onion if you like.
- Drizzle a little vinaigrette over the salad, then serve at once, passing the remainder of the vinaigrette at the table.
