How to Make Vegan Salad Nicoise

  1. Boil the cubed potatoes until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. While the potatoes cook, prepare the other ingredients: quarter the tomatoes, chop the olives and red onion (if using), and drain the beans and capers.
  3. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  5. Arrange the potatoes, beans, and tomato quarters on individual plates or in a large salad bowl.
  6. Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the salad.
  7. Sprinkle the chopped olives, capers, and red onion (if using) over the salad.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil, if desired.
