Niçoise Salad

The versions of this renowned French salad are infinite, but nearly all include lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, eggs, anchovies and niçoise olives. Tuna is another typical addition, and this recipe offers the option of using fresh tuna, if it is available, or canned tuna in olive oil, a preference in many traditional salads.
