If you want a pasta salad that actually feels like a full meal, this tuna niçoise pasta salad is it. It’s packed with tuna, hard-boiled eggs, green beans, and pasta, all tossed in a simple dressing and ready in about 20 minutes. Minimal ingredients, minimal effort, and something you can actually rely on for lunch or dinner.
This is one of those recipes I make when I want something easy that I can prep ahead and eat for a couple of days without thinking about it. I tested it a few different ways to keep it simple but still balanced, and using pantry staples like tuna and store-bought dressing makes it come together fast. It has all the classic niçoise-inspired flavors, just in a format that’s way more practical for real life.

Ingredient Spotlight
Green Beans – I love using haricots verts (French green beans) because they’re usually pre-trimmed and cook quickly. If you’re using regular green beans, just be sure to snip off the tough ends. You can also use frozen green beans here to save time, just steam them as directed.
Hard-Boiled Eggs – If you don’t already have hard-boiled eggs on hand, you can use my steamed hard boiled eggs method. They’re ready in about 12 minutes and you can still get this whole meal done in under 20.
Tuna (Packed in Oil) – Use tuna packed in oil for the best flavor and texture. It’s a little less intense and blends better into the salad. Just drain the oil before adding it.
Italian Dressing – Any Italian dressing you like works here. Store-bought keeps this extra easy, but homemade works great too if you have it.
Step by step instructions
Tips for success
Use bow tie pasta (or your favorite) – Farfalle (bow tie pasta) works really well for pasta salad, but any short pasta you like will work here.
Add eggs last for presentation – If you want a prettier salad, toss everything first and add the hard-boiled eggs on top at the end.
Serve it “composed” for guests – For a more elevated look, arrange the ingredients in sections over the pasta and toss right before serving.

Fill a large pot with water for the pasta and another pot with about 1 inch of water (with a steamer basket). Put them both over high heat and bring to a boil.
Cut the green beans down into bite size pieces.
12 oz snipped green beans
Once the water under the steamer basket is simmering, add the green beans to the steamer basket, cover the pot and cook for 6-7 minutes until green beans are bright green and tender but not mushy.
Transfer green beans to an ice bath.
When water is boiling in large pot, add pasta and cook according to directions on box. When done, drain the pasta and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
12 oz pasta
Immediately add the pasta to a large bowl and add 2 tablespoons dressing. This will help ensure the pasta doesn’t stick together.
½ cup salad dressing
Chop the spinach and tomatoes, cut the eggs.
3 cups baby spinach, 1 cup tomatoes, 4 large hard boiled eggs
Assemble the pasta salad: Top the pasta with blanched green beans, tomatoes, spinach, eggs, tuna, salt and garlic powder. Add the rest of the dressing and toss until everything is well coated.
2 cans tuna packed in oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Serve at room temperature or cold.
Top tips
Trim and cut the green beans – Make sure to trim the ends and cut the green beans into bite-sized pieces before cooking. It makes the pasta salad much easier to eat.
Shock the green beans – After steaming, transfer the green beans to an ice bath or very cold water. This stops the cooking and keeps them bright green.
Rinse the pasta and dress it right away – Rinse the cooked pasta with cold water, then toss it with a little dressing while it’s still slightly warm. This prevents sticking, especially important for gluten-free pasta.
Toss gently – Once everything is combined, toss lightly so you don’t break up the eggs or mash the ingredients.
Serve immediately or store for later. This pasta salad lasts for up to 4 days in the fridge in a well sealed container.

I’m never without homemade herbes de Provence in our kitchen. Abundant in the south of France, this spice mix really speaks to my love of French cooking. I use it in just about anything I can!
My mom’s French heritage was a big influence growing up, and because of her, I will always have a soft spot for French dishes like boeuf bourguignon and pâté. I’m no Julia Child (or even Martha Stewart for that matter!), but I do try to incorporate French recipes in our meal plan whenever possible.
Many people think French cooking is fussy or difficult, but it doesn’t have to be.
The French Cure for Picky Eaters
I’ve always been fascinated by French food culture and how even children in France typically like a wide variety of foods. We can learn a lot from the French, especially in how we teach our children to view food. I actually devoted a part of my Wellness Mama Cookbook to this topic!
A big part of raising non-picky eaters is exposing kids to well-rounded, varied flavors—like those in this seasoning blend.
What is Herbs de Provence?
The blend originated in the south, or Provence region, of France, and is made up of herbs that naturally grow in that area. The original blend of herbs de Provence ingredients contained summer savory, thyme, marjoram, and rosemary. Later on, lavender, fennel, and even orange zest were added to certain versions. Many of the herbs de Provence spice blends at the grocery stores include lavender and other herbs.
Not only do they taste good, but these herbs have strong antimicrobial properties to help the immune system do its job. Among many other things, rosemary helps with memory, thyme is great for the lungs, and marjoram helps relax nervous tension. Lavender is also good for stress relief, orange zest is uplifting, and fennel helps aid digestion. Together, they make for a powerful and tasty spice blend.
Herbs de Provence vs Italian Seasoning
While I love both seasonings, they definitely have some differences. Italian seasoning also includes thyme and rosemary, but you’ll often find spicy oregano and basil in there too. And most versions of Italian seasoning don’t include marjoram or summer savory (and certainly not lavender)!
If you need an herbs de Provence substitute, the simplest recipe is summer savory, thyme, marjoram, and rosemary.
How to Make Herbs de Provence
It’s very simple, but it does require an extra step compared to many of my spice blend recipes. Usually I just add all of the herbs to a jar, shake, and voila… done. Since these herbs are often whole, like fennel seeds or lavender buds, I do a quick run through the food processor first. Not only does it make them easier to use in recipes, but freshly ground herbs are more fragrant and flavorful. Blending or chopping herbs releases more of their volatile oils so they taste fresher.
So what is herbes de Provence for anyway, besides sounding fancy? The answer is a lot!
How to Use This Homemade Seasoning
Herbes de Provence is very versatile. It can be described as bold, woodsy, and a little bit floral. It pairs well with almost any cut of meat (especially pork and chicken recipes) and really complements most fish and seafood. I often add it to homemade soups and broths too.
We love to pre-mix a little into grass-fed butter and keep it at the ready for topping veggies, sourdough bread, or cauliflower rice. It also makes a great addition to breakfast dishes like my favorite sous vide egg bites or homemade breakfast sausage.
Try adding herbs de Provence compound butter to a roast chicken before putting it in the oven. Since the herbs are chunkier, not quite powdered, they work best when added to the beginning of recipes. This gives them a chance to infuse their flavors into the dish. It’s equally delicious on roasted vegetables or potatoes.
A bonus… not only is it healthy and tastes good, but it fills the kitchen with amazing smells!
You can certainly buy it from the store, but this homemade herbes de Provence spice blend and other homemade spice blends are a great way to save time and money. And this way, you know exactly how long it’s been sitting on the shelf! It’s also a fun and easy kitchen project kids can help make.
Homemade Herbs de Provence Recipe
Homemade herbs de Provence combines herbs like thyme and marjoram with lavender, fennel, and orange zest for a savory and flavorful spice blend.
Use a mortar and pestle or a food processor to lightly grind any herbs that are whole, such as the rosemary, lavender flowers, or fennel. The herbs should be coarse, not finely ground.
If you are zesting the orange yourself, remove the zest of one organic orange and dry it in an oven on lowest setting or a dehydrator until completely dry.
Combine all ingredients in a jar or bowl and mix.
Store in an airtight container away from heat and light.

Your success in growing plants relies heavily on timing. Planting seeds in proper time ensures good germination rate, avoids frost damage and quality yield.
If you never tried growing vegetables or ornamentals from seeds, it is easy to write off saying it is a labour-intense task. But in reality, it’s one of the most rewarding and cost-effective ways to garden.
While it requires a bit of patience, it’s truly fascinating to watch seeds sprouting indoors.
However, a common mistake most gardeners make is starting seeds too early, which can cause plants to become root-bound or leggy; while planting too late can cause you to miss the ideal growing season.
So, the key to successful gardening is knowing when to start planting seeds indoors. Starting at the right time helps seedlings grow strong and healthy, making them ready to be transplanted outdoors when conditions are ideal.
How to Know When to Start Seeds Indoors?
Knowing when to start seeds indoors mainly depends on your area’s last frost date. The last frost date is the average time in spring when the risk of frost usually passes.
Most seeds are started indoors 4–8 weeks before this date, so the seedlings have enough time to grow strong before being moved outside.
Another helpful guide is the information on seed packets. Many seed packets mention how many weeks before the last frost you should start the seeds indoors. Following these instructions can help you avoid starting too early or too late.
You should also consider the type of plant you are growing. Some plants like tomatoes, peppers, and broccoli need more time indoors, while others grow quickly and can be started later.
Understanding the growth time of each plant helps you plan the right seed-starting schedule.
Most young plants cannot survive freezing temperatures or late spring frost. So, it is essential that you find out the last frost date for your area by checking local gardening websites, weather services, or planting calendars.
Most seeds are started indoors about 4–8 weeks before the last expected frost date. This gives seedlings enough time to grow strong and healthy before they are transplanted outdoors.
However, the exact timing can vary depending on the plant.
Slow-growing plants like peppers and eggplants need around 8–10 weeks, while faster-growing plants like cucumbers or squash can be started 3–4 weeks before the last frost. Always check the seed packet for the best timing.
The first step is selecting suitable containers for seed starting. You can use seed trays, small nursery pots, peat pots, or recycled containers such as yogurt cups or plastic food containers.
The most important thing is that the container has drainage holes at the bottom. Good drainage prevents water from collecting in the soil, which can damage young roots. Clean containers also help reduce the risk of plant diseases.
Use a quality seed-starting mix
Seeds grow best in a light and well-draining seed-starting mix rather than regular garden soil. These mixes are specially designed to hold enough moisture while still allowing air to reach the roots.
Garden soil can be too heavy and may contain pests or diseases that harm seedlings.
Fill the container with the mix and gently press it down so the surface is level but not compact.
Plant seeds at the proper depth
Planting depth plays an important role in seed germination. A general rule is to plant seeds at a depth of about two to three times the size of the seed.
Very small seeds usually need only a thin layer of soil or can be lightly pressed onto the surface.
Larger seeds should be covered slightly deeper. Always check the seed packet instructions, as they provide the most accurate guidance.
Provide warmth and moisture
Most seeds germinate best in warm and consistently moist soil. After planting, water the soil gently so the seeds are not disturbed.
The soil should remain slightly moist but never soggy. Covering the tray with a plastic dome or plastic wrap can help retain moisture and warmth until seeds sprout.
Give enough light
Once seedlings emerge, they need plenty of light to grow properly. Place them near a bright sunny window that receives several hours of sunlight each day.
Many gardeners also use grow lights, which provide steady light and prevent seedlings from becoming tall and weak. Adequate light helps seedlings grow compact and strong.
Thin the seedlings if necessary
Sometimes multiple seeds sprout close together in the same container. When this happens, remove the weaker seedlings so the strongest one has enough space to grow.
This process, called thinning, prevents overcrowding and improves air circulation around the plants.
Harden off before transplanting
Before moving seedlings into the garden, they need time to adjust to outdoor conditions. This process is called hardening off.
Gradually place the seedlings outside for a few hours each day, increasing the time over about 7–10 days. This helps them adapt to sunlight, wind, and temperature changes, reducing transplant shock.
Vegetables that Grow Best When Started Indoors
Some vegetables grow much better when they are started indoors before the outdoor growing season begins.
These plants usually need a longer growing season or warmer temperatures to grow properly.
By starting them indoors, gardeners can give the seedlings extra time to develop before planting them outside.
Tomatoes are one of the most common vegetables started indoors. They grow slowly in the early stages and need warm conditions to thrive.
Starting tomato seeds indoors about 6–8 weeks before the last frost date helps them grow strong and ready for transplanting.
Peppers and eggplants also benefit from an early indoor start. These plants need warm soil and a long growing season to produce fruits.
Starting them indoors gives the plants enough time to grow before they are moved into the garden.
Cool-season crops like broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower can also be started indoors.
Growing them inside allows gardeners to transplant healthy seedlings outdoors early in the season. This helps the plants mature before the weather becomes too warm.
Starting these vegetables indoors not only helps plants grow stronger but also allows gardeners to enjoy earlier harvests and better yields during the growing season.
While some vegetables grow well indoors, many plants grow better when their seeds are planted directly in the garden soil. These plants usually grow quickly or have sensitive roots that do not respond well to transplanting.
Carrots and radishes are good examples of crops that should be directly sown outdoors.
These vegetables develop their edible roots underground. If they are transplanted, the roots can become damaged or grow in an unusual shape.
Plants like beans, corn, and peas also grow best when planted directly in the garden.
Their seeds germinate quickly in warm soil and the plants establish strong roots when they grow in the same place where they will mature.
Direct sowing is often easier and requires less work because there is no need to transplant seedlings later.
With proper soil preparation and regular watering, these crops can grow quickly and produce a healthy harvest.
Starting seeds indoors does not require many tools, but having the right supplies can make the process much easier.
These basic materials help seeds germinate properly and allow young seedlings to grow strong and healthy.
Seed trays or pots
Seed trays, small pots, or recycled containers can be used to plant seeds indoors. The containers should have drainage holes at the bottom so excess water can escape.
Proper drainage helps prevent root problems and keeps the soil from becoming too wet.
Seed-starting mix
A good seed-starting mix is important for successful germination. This type of soil is light, loose, and drains well, allowing tiny roots to grow easily. Regular garden soil is usually too heavy and may contain pests or diseases.
Grow lights or a sunny window
Seedlings need plenty of light to grow strong. A bright sunny window that receives several hours of sunlight each day works well.
Many gardeners also use grow lights to provide consistent light, especially when natural sunlight is limited.
Watering can or spray bottle
Seeds and young seedlings need gentle watering. A spray bottle or small watering can help keep the soil moist without disturbing the seeds. It is best to keep the soil slightly moist but not overly wet.
Plant labels
Plant labels help you remember what you planted and when. Since many seedlings look similar in the early stages, labeling each container can prevent confusion as the plants begin to grow.
Common Seed Starting Mistakes to Avoid
Starting seeds indoors is fairly simple, but a few common mistakes can affect the health of young plants.
Avoiding these problems will help your seedlings grow stronger and prepare them for a successful transplant into the garden.
Starting seeds too early
Many gardeners start seeds too early, thinking it will give plants a bigger head start. However, seedlings that grow indoors for too long can become leggy or root-bound before it is time to move them outside.
Overwatering seedlings
Too much water can harm young plants. Seedlings need moist soil, but overly wet soil can cause root problems and diseases. It is best to water gently and allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between watering.
Not providing enough light
Light is very important for healthy seedlings. Without enough light, seedlings grow tall and weak as they stretch toward the light source. Placing them near a bright window or under grow lights helps them grow stronger.
Using heavy garden soil
Regular garden soil is often too heavy for starting seeds. It can compact easily and prevent proper root growth. Using a light seed-starting mix gives seeds better conditions for germination and healthy root development.
Conclusion
Starting seeds indoors at the right time can make a big difference in the success of your garden. When seeds are planted at the proper time and given the right care, seedlings grow strong and healthy before being moved outdoors.
With well-developed plants ready for transplanting, gardeners can enjoy earlier harvests, better plant growth, and a more productive garden throughout the growing season. A little planning and proper timing can go a long way in helping your plants thrive.

Milhoan, 50 Dr. James Pagano, Dr. Raymond Pollak, 52 -appear to lack any expertise or professional qualifications related to vaccines or immunization as required by ACIP’s Charter. See ACIP Membership Roster, supra note 16. An additional three of the current ACIP members Dr. Retsef Levi, 53 Dr. Robert Malone, 54 and Dr. Catherine Stein 55_though they have
50 Dr. Milhoan “is a pediatric cardiologist and former U.S. Air Force flight surgeon,” who “holds a Ph.D. in the mechanisms of myocardial inflammation.” ACIP Membership Roster, supra note 16. There is no evidence in the record that Dr. Milhoan has any relevant vaccine-related experience or expertise.
51 Dr. Pagano “is a board-certified emergency medicine physician with more than 40 years of clinical experience.” ACIP Membership Roster, supra note 16. There is no evidence in the record that Dr. Pagano has any relevant vaccine-related experience or expertise.
52 Dr. Pollak “is a surgeon, transplant immunobiologist, and transplant specialist who has published more than 120 peer-reviewed works and served as principal investigator on NIH transplant biology grants and numerous drug trials.” ACIP Membership Roster, supra note 16. There is no evidence in the record that Dr. Pollak has any relevant vaccine-related experience or expertise.
53 Defendants describe Dr. Levi, Professor of Operations Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management, as “a leading expert in healthcare analytics, supply chain and manufacturing analytics, risk management, and biologics and vaccine safety” and note that he has “collaborated with industry stakeholders and public health agencies to develop decision-support models to evaluate biologics and vaccine safety” and co-authored studies examining the association between mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and risks of cardiovascular disease, mortality, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.” ACIP Membership Roster, supra note 16. However, based on the current record, he has published only two papers discussing vaccines, and both of those were published mere months before his appointment.

Publishing two papers on a topic, while no doubt relevant to ACIP, likely does not rise to the level of “expertise” called for under ACIP governing documents. See Expertise, Black’s Law Dictionary (12th ed. 2024) (defining “expertise” as “[s]kill or knowledge in a particular subject; specialized experience that gives rise to a facility that comparatively few people possess”).
54 Defendants describe Dr. Malone, an adjunct professor at Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana State University, as “a vaccinologist, scientist, and biochemist known for his early contributions to mRNA vaccine technology” whose “expertise spans molecular biology, immunology, and vaccine development.” ACIP Membership Roster, supra note 16. The only evidence in the record of his experience related to vaccines is that he was involved in early research on mRNA technology in the 1980s and 1990s. See id. Even crediting that experience, the Court cannot conclude that this experience, thirty plus years ago, constitutes the requisite expertise necessary for ACIP today. Further, the scope of his role in that research is disputed, see Davey Alba, The Latest Covid Misinformation Star Says Не Invented the Vaccines, N.Y. Times (Apr. 3, 2022), https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/03/technology/robert-malone-covid.html (cited at Compl. ¶ 77(h) n.59), which the Court need not resolve at this juncture.
55 Dr. Stein is a professor at Case Western Reserve University and “an epidemiologist with more than two decades of research experience on tuberculosis and infectious diseases and 115 peer reviewed publications.” ACIP Membership Roster, supra note 16. However, there is no evidence in the record that her experience and expertise relate to vaccines, vaccination, vaccine safety, or vaccine policy as to be relevant to ACIP’s function.
Buttercup squash will happily grow in loamy garden soil enriched with organic matter and a pH range of 6.0 to 6.8.
If you aren’t sure what your garden soil is like, conduct a soil test and amend according to the results.
Water
As with other winter types, it’s best to water buttercup squash deeply, but infrequently.
Watch plants for wilting as a sign that they are thirsty. Depending on the weather, you may need to irrigate once or twice a week during the hottest days of summer.
To prevent fungal diseases taking hold on wet foliage, water at the ground level rather than overhead using sprinklers.
Fertilizing
Compost makes the best fertilizer for buttercup squash.
Be sure to mix some well-rotted compost into the soil before planting, and add a side dressing of compost once or twice during the growing season as well.
A couple of handfuls per plant will do the trick.
Cultivars to Select
Ready to select which type of buttercup squash to grow in your garden?
Here are some good options:
Bonbon
An All-America Selections winner in 2005, ‘Bonbon’ has orange colored, sweet flesh with a creamy texture.
Fruits weigh four to five pounds and are born on highly productive plants in 95 days after sowing or transplanting.
Burgess Buttercup
‘Burgess Buttercup’ is the original buttercup squash cultivated in North Dakota as a sweet potato substitute.
This open-pollinated variety is a cross between ‘Quality’ and ‘Essex Hybrid,’ two turban squash cultivars.
‘Burgess Buttercup’ is a vining type that produces harvestable fruit in 95 days.
Fruits weigh three to five pounds each and have richly flavored flesh that is a deep orange hue.
You can find ‘Butter Belle’ seeds in an array of packet sizes at True Leaf Market.
Maintenance
In addition to the simple fertilizing approach mentioned above, the other two maintenance tasks for this crop are weeding and mulching.
Weeding is particularly important when plants are young and trying to become established. Once they take off, they will be able to hold their own against weeds.
One thing that can help keep weeds at bay is a light layer of mulch around the plants.
Pests and Disease
If you have the sun, water, and soil needs under control, there are two problems that can get in the way of an abundant buttercup harvest – pests and diseases.
Here’s what you’ll need to watch out for:
Pests
While beneficial insects abound, there are other bugs out there that can get in the way of us growing our own food.
Check your plants for these problematic insects:
Aphids
Aphids are tiny, but they can cause big problems. They feed directly on the foliage of plants, so check stems and leaf undersides.

Our community has been on the move! When I did recent calls for photos from public gardens that you all have visited over the past year, I knew we were bound to see some exciting destinations but I don’t think I was prepared for the range of garden photos we would receive from far-flung locations. In fact, we received so many fabulous submissions from gorgeous garden destinations that I have decided to take GPOD “on the road” for an entire week! We will be experiencing a wide range of gardens—from formal castle grounds to naturalistic designs and even the home garden of a world-renowned landscape designer that you have the chance to visit with Fine Gardening.
But we’re kicking the week off in Japan, with some fabulous foliage photos that Bonnie Phipps Moninger captured during her trip last fall. We saw an update from Bonnie’s home garden in Boulder, Colorado last week (Bonnie’s Front Garden in Colorado), and the appreciation for Japanese garden designs that we saw in her front yard displays are seen again in the admiration she has for the naturalistic landscapes she enjoyed in her travels.
In November 2025, my husband and I traveled to Japan, hoping to witness the autumn foliage. We were fortunate to be there during the peak season! We dedicated a significant amount of time in Kyoto, exploring the smaller temples in Arashiyama as well as some of the larger ones near Gion. The Japanese invest considerable time, thought, and intention into the arrangement of trees, plants, rocks, and statues in their gardens, resulting in a stunning tapestry of shapes, textures, and colors. They are experts in using large rocks, Japanese lanterns, and intricate rock paths in their designs. These gardens, though they have been landscaped many years ago, look so natural. We were in awe throughout our entire stay. Below are some pictures of the gardens we visited.
The first group of photos is from the Arashiyama area of Kyoto. This area has smaller temples, and you can walk from one to another, connected by small roads. Each temple garden is quite different, and there are tons of them!

Okochi Sanso Villa inArashiyama. Formerly the estate of the famed film actor Okochi Denjiro (1898 – 1962). It has over a mile of paths running through its beautiful gardens. I love the large boulder in this image. I think it significantly enhances the surrounding area. There are Japanese letters engraved on it, but it’s hard to see in this picture.
Okochi Sanso Garden,Arashiyama. I’ve always wanted to step inside a picture and this framed area let us do just that!

Bonnie sent in so many fabulous photos from her time in Japan that we will be returning tomorrow to see more sensational fall scenes from this trip.
