Our weekly feature, Recipe Rehab, takes a recipe -- sometimes basic, sometimes decadent and sometimes just plain unhealthy -- and turns it into a scrumptious and healthy dish, pumped up with nutrition. Sometimes all it takes is a few alterations to prepare a dish that would make even your nutritionist proud.

Salad is a word you would think is synonymous with healthy - except fatty toppings and dressing can really pack on the calories. This lightened version of a French classic is more in tune with what a salad should really be - without losing any of the taste.

Salad Niçoise

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
salt and pepper -- to taste
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dijon mustard

2 small potatoes, boiled and cooled
6 cups mixed greens
6 tomatoes, sliced
1 cucumber, sliced
12 ounces green beans, steamed
6 egg white, hardboiled and sliced
2 cans tuna in water
2 ounces niçoise olives

Blend together first five ingredients to make the dressing. Divide salad ingredients evenly between four plates and drizzle dressing over the top. Serve immediately.
