Niçoise Salad

Description
For a summer lunch or dinner, one of my favorite salads. There is always a debate going on about this salad, what should be in there and what not. I don't use potatoes in mine, but if you like to add them, do so. This recipe also appeals to kids. I serve it with some nice bread, and, of course, wine.

Ingredients

 * lettuce leaves, of your own choice
 * 2 – 3 hard-boiled eggs, quartered
 * 2 – 3 tomatoes, skinned and in large chunks
 * 1 clove crushed garlic
 * ⅓ cup black olives, halved or left whole
 * salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

 * 1) Toss together carefully: eggs, garlic and half of the olives; add salt and pepper to taste.
 * 2) Pile in the center of the serving dish; make it look as attractive as possible ingredients.
