The basic ingredients include green beans, waxy potatoes, canned anchovies, ripe cherry tomatoes, niçoise olives, capers, chicken or quail eggs and a vinaigrette flavoured with Dijon mustard. I enriched the salad with cucumber, romaine lettuce, red onion, and homemade Italian style artichokes. I only make the nicoise salad in the summer, as the vegetables need to be newly harvested.
I wish everyone happy summer holidays and bon appétit with what ever you happen to cook.
