A twist on the classic French salad, this recipe adds pan-seared halibut and the benefits of CBD oil. Niçoise salad typically consists of mixed greens, tuna, cherry tomatoes, and hard-boiled eggs, topped with a vinaigrette dressing. In this version, we’ve added roasted vegetables and CBD-infused olive oil to create a delicious and relaxing culinary experience.

Instructions:

  1. Roast the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, toss the eggplant, bell peppers, and zucchinis with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, or until tender.
