Author Notes

This salad is a variation on a salad nicoise because I had no nicoise olives. I have improvised with ingredients that I did have on hand. I like the addition of pickled green tomatoes. The salad does not look so beautiful packed in my little tiffin, but it is meant to transfer out to a plate and then dress. —Sagegreen
