Why do you put raw onions? They ruin the entre salad. Better without.
The dressing is what makes it! I added a bit of lemon juice and it was even better.
I followed the recipe but it turned out too dry. Maybe more dressing next time?
I had the same issue! I added a bit more dressing and some lemon juice, and it turned out perfect. Give that a try!
Not enough ingredients, whereβs the croutons? π€
I get that croutons are great, but this salad is full of flavor already! Itβs about the fresh ingredients, not just the crunch. π
No croutons? Howβs it a salad then? Needs more texture, man! π
This salad is a classic! I love the flavors, especially with the olives. My family devoured it!
I donβt like tuna much, but I gave it a try. The potatoes were good, but too many veggies for my taste.
Yummy! Everyone in my family loved it. I will make it again for sure!
Nicoise? More like No-cise! This was bland and didnβt live up to the hype. π
Nice recipe! Easy to make, tastes good, but maybe needs more tuna??
Did I need to cook the green beans? They looked overcooked to me!
Yes, you should cook the green beans! Just for a short time, they were meant to be crisp-tender. Maybe you left them in the water too long?
I followed the recipe but ended up with a mushy salad. Next time I wonβt overcook the potatoes.
Mushy salad? Oof, that sounds rough! Maybe next time cook the potatoes a bit less? Which step did you find tricky?
I donβt really get how you messed this up. Itβs literally just putting stuff together. Did you forget to take the pot off the heat?
Yum! We had it for lunch and it was super filling. The eggs made it perfect!
Sounds delicious! I had it for dinner last week and loved it too! Those eggs are a game changer for sure.
This salad is absolutely fantastic! The combination of flavors is spot on.
