"A classic Niçoise is a vibrant salad that typically includes tomatoes, anchovies, hard boiled eggs, and raw, steamed, or boiled vegetables. This version takes hints from the classic, but becomes a solid base for swapping things in and out and making it your own. I really like the warm, nutty flavors and temperature differences you get from simple roasted veg, and I opt for slightly jammy eggs as opposed to hard boiled. For a bit of punch in the flavor department, I made a bright lemon and caper dressing with grainy mustard to complement the veg and oil-packed tuna. You could also use anchovies or even sardines instead of tuna or even leave that out completely, and have a wonderful veg-forward salad as a side or simple lunch—even supplemented with black lentils or your favorite grain."
