Can you tell I'm a sucker for color? :D lo - We buy American Tuna: http://www.americantuna.com/ Lindsey and Lydia - I can't resist purple potatoes, and the ones I've been getting at the Boston Public Market are particularly good. quiltcat - Yep, those are the onions. I scored some tiny red bulb onions with the green tops still attached a while back, and pickled them in my usual pickling brine, but with a mixture of sherry and cider vinegar. They're so good on salads, sandwiches, or just to munch on! Wow, thanks so much everyone! Can you tell I’m a sucker for color? :D

You've inspired me to make a Nicoise tomorrow. I agree that it's the perfect summer food, though I could happily have it for lunch every day! This looks so amazing and delicious!
