    * Half a dozen Black Olives.

    * Some Great Salad Dressing.


Method

   1. Drain the Anchovies and run some cold water through them to get rid of some of the salt. 
      You can use them as they are but we find all that salt overpowering.
   2. Now - boil the eggs for 6 minutes and then cool them in cold water and shell and half them lengthways.
   3. Cook the green beans and refresh with cold water - drain and keep to one side.
   4. Tear the lettuce up in your hands and place in the bottom of your Salad Bowl.  
   5. Place the green beans on top and arange the cut tomatoes around the outside.
   6. Now - artistically place the eggs - with an anchovy across each one, the rest of the anchovies, 
      the tuna, the capers, the cherry tomatoes,and the Basil leaves on the top.
   7. Drizzle with a good Vinaigrette and serve immediatly.
