Salmon Nicoise Salad

This salad is a great meal prep option as you can prep most of the ingredients in advance for a quick meal during the week. It’s also quite versatile as you can add Tuna (the classic) shrimp or even chicken.

The dressing is a yogurt based dressing is quite balanced and really brings this entire dish together - you can put it on anything and it will make it sing.
