My Nicoise Salad recipe for the Thermomix is a meal in itself! Lots of fresh veggies – greens, potatoes, avocado, eggs and olives all brought together with a lemony vinaigrette. So. Much. Flavour.

With a good balance of protein, good fats and carbs, a healthy meal that will leave you feeling satisfied and clean!

Unlike a traditional version, my Thermomix Nicoise salad doesn’t contain tuna, but if you eat fish and want it more traditional you could add a tin of tuna.

This Nicoise Salad really uses the Thermomix to it’s full potential:   – Dressing made in the bowl – Eggs in the simmering basket – Potatoes and beans in the steaming attachment.

This means that it makes a lot, enough to serve six in fact, or more if you’re serving it as a side. It keeps well, so any leftovers can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner the next day too.

What’s Needed and How to Make Nicoise Salad in the Thermomix

There are two components of this recipe: the dressing and the salad. Below are photos are some details about the recipe. For the full recipe, scroll down to the recipe card.

Once you’ve gathered the ingredients for the dressing, it is so simple to make. Just throw all ingredients into thermie and blitz to combine and emulsify.

Once done, remove from the bowl and set aside. The taste is lovely and lemony! It will look like this:

We use the thermie to cook the eggs and potatoes. The eggs in the simmering basket and the potatoes in the steaming attachment:

Once the eggs and potatoes are cooked, peel and quarter the eggs. Next, arrange the spinach on a large platter. Top with cooled potatoes, beans, olives, avocado and eggs. Finally, drizzle liberally with the dressing, then DIG IN!
