Traditional salade niçoise is not a weeknight-friendly endeavour, dirtying every pot and pan in the house. But if you put it on a sheet pan, this classic, wholesome French salad can be made on any night of the week. Serving the salad warm means it can be enjoyed year-round.
Tip: Switch up fingerling potatoes with sweet potato rounds or quartered golden beets. If you desire more protein, cook eight eggs instead of four, or add fresh tuna steaks to the baking sheet when the eggs go in.
