About

I began with a classic Niçoise salad but this one has my own little twists - a steamed chicken breast to keep it nice and healthy, a tomato dressing made with capers to give it definition, and a delicious sprinkling of olive crumb on the top.

Ingredients

100 g/3½ oz/scant ¾ cup pitted black or green olives, halved
