Deconstructed Salmon Niçoise Salad Recipe

The idea here is to serve the individual components on separate platters on a buffet table so guests can build their own salad. We like to use a variety of platters in different shapes and sizes — a white platter for the salmon, a wooden board for the truffled deviled eggs, a tall white compote dish for the tomatoes in olive vinaigrette — to add interest and height to the buffet table.
