Niçoise Salad

Hmmm... slight smell of a desperate attempt to get a few more posts on this blog but, never mind, here we go anyway. Niçoise salad should be made with tinned tuna, not fresh, let's get that straight from the start. It's nice with fresh tuna but the proper, authentic recipe calls for tinned. Then you've got leaves, obviously, black olives, boiled egg and green beans, plus I chuck in some salad potatoes to make it into more of a main meal. Simple French dressing (equal quantitues of olive oil and white wine vinegar plus a bit of Dijon mustard) and Robert's your auntie's life partner.
