The ingredients depend upon the season and what is available, but hard-boiled eggs, anchovy fillets, black olives, tomatoes, with garlic in the dressing, are pretty well constant elements in what should be a rough country salad.
Arrange a quartered lettuce in your dish or bowl. Add 2 hard-boiled eggs cut in half; 2 very firm quartered tomatoes, not more than half a dozen anchovy fillets and 8 or 10 black olives and, if liked, a few capers. Only when the salad is about to be eaten mix it with the dressing, made from olive oil, tarragon vinegar, salt, pepper and a crushed garlic clove. Add other ingredients, such as tunny fish, sliced peppers, artichoke hearts, as desired.
