Salad nicoise is absolutely the perfect summer party dish! The ingredients need to be flawless and absolutely fresh. I doubled/tripled some items and added a few to make a beautiful platter for 12 persons: used yellow and green beans, used yellow and red tomatoes, used yellow and red peppers, used the most beautiful tiny herloom potatos, used canned italian tuna in olive oil. I steamed my beans and boiled potatos, cooled, and marinated in herb/lemon vinegrette for several hours. I covered a huge platter with a bag of herb greens, and working around the platter and leaving space in the middle for tuna, piled green beans, sliced tomatos, potatoes, peppers, yellow beans, until the circle was complete, then 2 cans drained tuna, chunked, in the middle. I "sprinkled" olives all over, and served with extra dressing. Beautiful and delicious! A great reason to visit the farmer's market. The raves you will get make it worth the work.
