What to do with leftover salade niçoise?
Divide the salad between two bowls, and top with the tomatoes and eggs. Flake over the tuna, then drizzle with the rest of the dressing and season. Remove the potatoes from any leftover salade niçoise. Stuff the rest of the salad into a split baguette or ciabatta. Drizzle with olive oil and add extra anchovies.
What is not allowed in salade niçoise?
To the purists, the rules are very clear: no vinegar, no lettuce, no fresh tuna, and absolutely no boiled vegetables, like potatoes or green beans. A debate is raging over what constitutes a “correct” salade Niçoise.
