Throw It Together Salad Nicoise


After the dinner party the night before, we went for a simpler, one-bowl meal on Friday night.  This was a proper use-up-the-leftovers meal:  eggs left over from making the blondies, the last of the salad leaves.  We also boiled some lovely new potatoes from the veg box, and threw in a tin of tuna from the cupboard.   We didn't have the traditional green beans for a salad nicoise, but we substituted lightly steamed shredded cabbage, and it worked surprisingly well.  B dressed it with balsamic vinegar and it turned into a big, gutsy, substantial salad - perfect for a Friday night on the sofa in front of How I Met Your Mother re-runs. 


Pudding was the last of the strawberries, smothered in Greek yogurt and sugar.  Hurray for leftovers!
