Salade Niçoise “Of all main-course salads, the Niçoise is my all-time favorite, with its fresh butter- lettuce foundation; its carefully cooked, beautiful green beans; its colorful contrast of halved hard-boiled eggs, ripe red tomatoes, and black olives; all fortified by chunks of tuna fish and freshly opened anchovies. It's a perfect luncheon dish, to my mind, winter, summer, spring, and fall — an inspired combination that pleases everyone”.- Julia Childs
