The story behind

The Niçoise salad is an icon of Provençal cuisine. As seen in the image **Ensalada Niçoise Clásica.png**, this version stands out with abundant chunks of tuna and anchovy fillets on a bed of mixed greens. It is complemented by hard-boiled eggs, juicy tomatoes, tender green beans, green bell pepper, and olives, all presented artisanally in a white bowl with a gold rim.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Boil the green beans in salted water for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp; shock in cold water to preserve the color.
  2. 2
    Create a generous base of mixed greens in an elegant bowl.
  3. 3
    Distribute the tomatoes, green bell pepper, and green beans over the lettuce.
  4. 4
    Place the tuna chunks in the center and arrange the anchovy fillets on top.
  5. 5
    Position the egg quarters and olives around the bowl, following the style of the **Ensalada Niçoise Clásica.png** photo.
  6. 6
    Dress with a classic Dijon vinaigrette just before serving.
