To make the Niçoise salad, first prepare the hard-boiled eggs: place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over moderate heat.

Wash and cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters 4. Drain the anchovy fillets and cut them into pieces 5. By this time, the hard-boiled eggs will have cooled, so peel them and cut them into 4 parts 6.

Wash the lettuce and tear it by hand into a large bowl 7, then add the pitted olives 8 and the cherry tomatoes 9.

Also add the scallion, the drained tuna 10, and the anchovies. Finally, season with oil 11, salt, and pepper 12.
