Salade nicoise

Salade nicoise: tuna, hard-boiled egg, green beans, olives, anchovy, tomato, and potato on a bed of leaves, dressed with olive oil and vinegar or lemon. The combination of oily tuna, saline anchovy, bitter olive, sharp tomato, and egg richness makes this one of the most structurally complex salads in the calculator. The anchovy and olive together eliminate oak and tannin immediately. The wine needs to work across all elements simultaneously: saline enough for the anchovy, mineral enough for the tuna, acidic enough to cut the egg and olive oil, and light enough not to overpower the leaves.
