Ingredients

STEP 1

Eggs: For just slightly hard-boiled add the eggs to boiling water and let boil for 8.5 minutes. For medium boiled eggs I leave them for 6-7 minutes.

STEP 2

Drain out the hot water and cover the eggs with ice cubes so that they stop cooking. Begin assembling your Niçoise Salad while the cooked ingredients chill.

STEP 3

Toss the salad leaves in half of the vinaigrette. Assemble your ingredients one by one.

STEP 4

Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the top. Serve with a fresh baked baguette and a glass of Rosé for the have the perfect French Riviera lunch.
