My social life has definitely changed over the last year….we moved to the suburbs, I work from home, and all of my friends have multiple children. So a lot of times, we find time to spend together right smack in the middle of the day – for me it’s a much-appreciated, quick break from work – for them it breaks up their routine! Lunch ideas have been on my radar more and more lately…..especially simple, one dish meals.
This recipe for a salad nicoise sandwich is the perfect choice! It’s fresh, different….and you get your salad and your protein all in one dish! It looks pretty too! The perfect compliment to a simple table setting (toddler-proof, of course!).

I really like the use of the blue bottles as vases….and the Lorina lemonade tied with a ribbon is perfect!
Great shots and beautiful blog, too.
