Healthy snack attack: niçoise bites

Niçoise bites

You may have heard of salade niçoise. It’s a healthy French salad with veggies, tuna, egg, and even anchovies. But when you don’t have time for the full meal, enjoy a simple niçoise snack!

Makes 1 serving

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ¼ cup green beans
• ¼ cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
• A pinch of salt and pepper

Preparation

• Rinse the green beans and cherry tomatoes. Then boil beans. In a separate pot, boil the egg until it floats. While waiting for these to boil, chop each cherry tomato in half. 
• After the egg and beans are done boiling, shell and peel the egg, then cut it into bite-sized morsels. Cut the stringy ends from the beans.
• Mix in a small bowl, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 
• Makes one serving, but double the recipe for easy leftovers you can refrigerate and keep for the next day. Bon appétit!
