We didn't change anything from the original instructions, so head over to https://www.theguardian.com/food/2019/jul/17/felicity-cloake-masterclass-salade-nicoise-recipe for the how to.

It was a time-consuming recipe to make, so you might wish to adapt the recipe to make it quicker.

This recipe tastes even better made with vegetables from Community Harvest Whetstone :)
