Salad Nicoise

Eggs hardboiled
Celery (very thinly sliced)

Tuna
Anchovy
Capers

Chapatti
Vinaigrette made with :
Olive Oil
Good Balsamic
Dijon Mustard
Garlic

Salt & Pepper

Definitely a salad to please the eye !

That is why it is nice to arrange on individual plates in order for the different ingredients to be seen. Nigella once even arranged all ingredients in a row on a platter for guests to makeup their own flavours which is quite a nice idea!

It is obviously best to use fresh seared tuna but canned will do just as well.
I lay the anchovy over the potatoes and the capers over the eggs and tuna to marry these flavours.
The garlic is just used in the dressing and should not be too overpowering

I also prefer to use butter lettuce for this as the other kinds are too hard to be able to mix in while “piling” different flavours on a fork !
