Low Carb Mason Jar Salmon Nicoise Salad
This salad is quickly becoming a regular meal in my household. Salad is quick and simple if you plan ahead and prep a few things like eggs, salmon and wash the greens. It holds up incredibly well if you pack the salad and dressing separately when you take it for lunch, so prep a couple! You will love all the fun textures and flavors of this salad. The green beans are so crispy and the capers are briny...I love it!

I’m concerned about the “medium rare” salmon, unless you purchase sushi quality salmon you should be cooking the fish to a minimum temp of 155 F and checking that in the thickest part of the filet. It sounds yummy otherwise!

Why the jar?

Very good! I subbed 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce for anchovies and asparagus for the beans. And made it in a bowl for two . Yumma

This is great! The al dente green beans made an excellent compliment to the flaky Salmon and wilted greens. I'm not entirely sure why I have to make it in a mason jar - so I didin't - and it came out equally as well. Thanks!

Jar is a clever way of layering the salad so that it lasts in the fridge for days. Dressing and olives on the bottom, green beans next I am assuming etc.

I don't get the jar either. Gimmicky I guess. Bowl works

I liked this, but I will cook my green beans more if I make it again.

Good version of an old classic! I love salad like this ... Substituting tuna works great. Another good version is a sweet chilli salmon with avocado, egg, cherry tomatoes, peppers, chives, and romaine.

Delicious! I used canned mackerel as we can't afford salmon, and it was yummy

They have reasonably priced canned salmon.

A popular YouTube guy did a Keto Dollar Tree haul and he found wild caught salmon in the freezer section. My local DT was out of it. Pretty sure it goes fast. Happy hunting.

If you have an aldi on the neighborhood they have frozen salmon that might be within your budget ❤️

What is add more greens? I don’t like olives so what should I replace that with

A great substitute for capers is pickles, artichoke hearts, or lemons. You can substitute green peppercorns for olives

I would also like to know if there’s a substitute for olives and capers. Yucky! The rest sounds delicious!
