Niçoise salad with light aïoli
A simple and nutritious meal salad! I love adding roasted salmon for a more elegant touch. The homemade aioli and zhoug are essential.

Preparation
1.
Preheat the BBQ or oven to 400°F. Toss the green beans in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Do the same with the potatoes in a separate bowl. Set aside.
2.
3.
Prepare the salmon by seasoning the flesh side with olive oil, lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Place a cast-iron skillet on the BBQ and heat it with a small drizzle of oil. Cook the salmon skin-side down for about 5 to 7 minutes, depending on thickness, until the flesh is opaque. Set aside.
4.
Cook the potatoes in a BBQ grill basket or skillet for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Do the same for the green beans, but reduce the cooking time by half.
5. Prepare the zhoug :
In a bowl, mix the parsley, dill, olive oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
6. Prepare the aioli :
In a narrow container (like a Mason jar), add the egg, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, a splash of vinegar, salt, and pepper. Slowly pour the oils on top while blending with an immersion blender or whisking vigorously. Keep refrigerated.
7.
On a large platter or individual plates, arrange the lettuce leaves, potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, radishes, olives, egg quarters, and pieces of salmon. Drizzle with a bit of zhoug and serve with a spoonful of light aioli and some fresh basil leaves.
