Salad Nicoise

• To a large pot, add water and salt. Bring to boil.
• Add potatoes, and let it cook until tender and yet little firm.
• Allow it to cook for at least 15 minutes. Drain and cool.
• In a large bowl, mix the potatoes, parsley, olives, onion, tuna and green beans.
• Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
• In a large bowl, add greens with vinaigrette and top with chilled potato mixture.
• Garnish with eggs, tomatoes, capers, and anchovies.

TIP: The French way of preparing the same recipe is by just combining all of the ingredients excluding the greens, and letting them marinate in a batch of dressing.
