I don't like salad nicoise as much as I think I do. Perhaps this is because the ingredients have to be really good to make it a great experience, perhaps it's because I don't like hard boiled eggs without lots of mayo. Whatever it is, it is something I think I like, but am frequently disappointed by - there are plenty of things like that in life - and not just food!
The salad nicoise yesterday was ruined (no) by a lack of cucumber, I used a tin of tuna, about 5 anchovies, 2 hardboiled eggs, some left over green beans, lettuce,. tomatoes and spring onions. I squeezed over a lemon and pour on some olive oil. If you read Elizabeth David she will wag her finger at you about what should and shouldn't be included - black olives and capers and bottle artichokes are all good additions. I had some of those too. My first mother in law always put new potatoes in hers. Maybe if I could find some really excellent tuna fish that would help...
What I ate
Salade nicoise - the others had chili and rice; followed by Oreo ice cream.
