It is a single dish easy and quick to prepare. Let's see how.

The classic recipe of Nicoise salad

The original recipe for this salad includes one lettuce base (or mixed salad) enriched with boiled potatoes cut into rounds, steamed green beans, hard-boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes, a few fillets of anchovy and tuna in oil, a handful of black olives and a yellow pepper. Everything is seasoned with oil, salt, vinegar and pepper. The salad should be served with all the ingredients in sight and arranged in an elegant way, so better to use the comfortable single-serving bowls so that everyone can season it at will.
