Keto Tuna Nicoise

This low carb take on a classic salad nicoise omits the starchy potatoes commonly found in this dish and replaces them with full flavored low carb veg and healthy fats.

The recipe is prepared with tinned tuna but you could make this with freshly grilled tuna if you prefer or even substitute for flaked salmon.
