Quick one: Nicoise salad

I'm gonna do this every so often, just a quick post to jot a recipe down.

Salads are great and not at all gay. Well okay they're a bit gay. And I eat a lot of them at the moment (salads not homosexuals). This one is good for a main meal as its also nice and filling. Also the Baconator likes anchovies and its got like... anchovies in it...

STUFF TO GO IN SALAD
New Potatoes
3 hard boiled eggs
SALAD LEAFTHSSSSS
Anchovies in oil (either tinned or in a jar)
Spring onions
Beans (what ever kind you like, or sugar snap peas are good as well)
Cucumber
Lemon Juice
Olive Oil

Method
Slice the new potatoes so they're about 2cm thick and steam for about 15 minutes. I did green beans as well (chop em up first), steam them till they're firm but tender. It's a good time to boil the eggs as well.
Chuck all the salad leaves in a large mixing bowl/salad bowl. Chop the onions and cucumber and chuck it in with the potatoes and whatever beans your using (I also used broad beans). Fresh chives are also nice but I don't have any at the moment because in spite of the clocks already going forward it's still fucking winter. Toss it all up together.
Peel the eggs. Slice the eggs into quarters or eighths or whatever. You can go with halves like you get with the shitty tinned tuna Nicoise salad that you buy from tesco but they only do that to make it look slightly less like partially digested cat food thrown up on a lawn by your obese cat who you might as well have named Mr Fucking Creosote such is it's lack of restraint with food. Smaller slices will spread through the salad more and pick up more of the flavour from the dressing and the anchovies (more surface area, Science Bitches). So do small slices.

Chop up about half a tin/jar of anchovy fillets and toss them in the salad too. Take 3 or 4 fillets and chop them really finely, as fine as you possibly can, cos they're going in the dressing. Put them in whatever little bowl you're making your dressing in. Pour in a little of the oil from the tin/jar as that will be nice and fishy. Then add some olive oil. At this point I like to add a little white balsamic vinegar just to give it a little sweetness, but I understand that not everyone has that in their kitchen. Its not essential. Then a splash or 2 of lemon juice. Mix it up with a spoon. Pour it over the salad and once again toss the salad. You'll notice due to a little thing called gravity most of the leaves are on the top and the potatoes etc are underneath. This is good as it makes it easier to serve and the eggs, beans and potatoes will be better covered by dressing, especially if you leave it for 10 minutes.
Serve up the salad, leaves first, then spooning the rest on top. Chuck a couple of whole anchovy fillets on top for looks. Then you're done.
