[Is This Really Nece]

A vegetarian version of the iconic Salade Niçoise, with an interesting twist from the vermouth. The amount of dressing is way too much and makes it oily; use about half the oil and vinegar. The four stars are with the adjusted amount of dressing; the original would only get three stars from me.
