I’ve resisted my urge to become a BBQ expert this summer and instead I’ve gone on a salad kick! My salads range from the simplest undressed green salad to more elaborate salads, such as the farro salad we shared with you here, the burrata salad we shared here, or the Vietnamese chicken salad we shared here. Next up on my list is Hetty McKinnon’s Kinda-Niçoise with Fried Green Beans, Roasted Kale, Lentils, Steamed Eggs, and Caper Mayo. It comes from Hetty’s most recent book Neighborhood, which is all about hearty salads and other plant-based recipes, and we are lucky to have three copies to give away to our readers! To enter the contest, leave a comment below with an answer to this question: What is the best salad you’ve ever eaten? Deadline for entry is the end of the day on Sunday, August 20th, 2017. —Kristina
Why Hetty loves this salad: Salade niçoise is a classic, and with good reason. It is effortlessly rustic and sophisticated at the same time, brimming with delicate French beans and potatoes that are enlivened by the saltiness of anchovies and olives. My vegetarian niçoise is inspired by this Provencal classic, bringing the seasonal produce in the form of kale, green beans, tomatoes, and radishes, but veers left-of-center with a bold caper-laced mayonnaise. French Puy lentils, so abundant at Provencal markets, makes this salad full-bodied and intensely satisfying. A niçoise is not complete without egg — steamed eggs in fact! Steaming your eggs, much like you would vegetables, results in softer, silkier eggs — the steam cooks your eggs gently, delivering a tender egg white and creamier yolk.
