To make a salad Niçoise, you first need to make hard-boiled eggs. Thinly slice the green pepper, and slice the radishes. Put these ingredients in a dish, add the tuna, and mix everything together. You can then arrange the tomato slices and the quartered eggs on top. Add the anchovies, the black olives and the basil to the salad. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. It's ready! Enjoy your meal!
