Instant Pot Nicoise Salad is really delicious and fast to make thanks to cooking potatoes, beans, and eggs in electric pressure cooker together. Perfect salad for lunch or dinner. Great for meal prepping and batch cooking | imagelicious.com #instantpotrecipes #nicoisesalad
Wrap the green beans loosely in foil if you prefer your green beans to be crunchy. Leave the without foil if you like the green beans to be soft.
Put all the cut potatoes inside your Instant Pot. Add a bundle of green beans on top of the potatoes (either wrapped in foil for crunchy or without foil for soft). Add the eggs on top of the potatoes. Add 1/2 cup of cold water to Instant Pot.
Close the lid of your Instant Pot and turn the valve to Sealing.
Press Manual or Pressure Cooker button (depending on your model) and use the arrows to select 2 minutes. It will take about 3-4 minutes to come to pressure.
Once the Instant Pot beeps that the 2 minutes of cooking are done, do a quick pressure release. This should take under 1 minute.
Carefully remove the vegetables from Instant Pot. They will be very hot.
Make the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a small jar and shaking it to combine.
Transfer the hot potatoes to a large bowl and pour about quarter of the dressing over them. Mix. Let cool.
Cut the green beans into thirds.
Peel and cut the eggs in half.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.

Notes
2 minutes cooking time works for my Instant Pot. It may not be enough for your particular model so you may need to adjust the timing.
You can use the same recipe even if you do not have Instant Pot. Just cook the potatoes, green beans, and eggs on the stove using the traditional method. Follow the rest of the instructions for the remainder of the recipe.
