    | 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. | 2. Place eggs in small saucepan and add water to cover by 1 inch. Heat to boiling, then let stand covered 15 minutes. Drain and cool in cold water. | 3. Meanwhile, place bread on cookie sheet and brush 2 T. oil over both sides of bread. Bake, turning once, until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool, then cut into triangles. | 4. Drain artichoke hearts and tuna. Rinse chick peas and pat dry. Scrub yellow squash and zucchini, then cut into matchsticks. Stem and seed bell pepper and cut into thin strips. | 5. Line large platter with romaine leaves. Arrange artichokes, tuna, chick peas, squashes, and bell pepper on romaine. | 6. Rinse anchovies, pat dry, and chop fine. Chop sun-dried tomatoes. Mince enough parsley to measure 2 T. Combine anchovies, tomatoes, and parsley in mixing bowl. Whisk in remaining 6 T. oil, the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Drizzle dressing over salad. | 7. Peel and quarter hard-cooked eggs. Garnish salad with eggs and olives. | 8. Serve salad with croutons. | 9. Note: To arrange the salad on the platter, I do a pinwheel effect. I put the tuna in the center, surrounded alternately by chick peas, and artichokes. I then make spokes of squash & zucchini strips alternating with pepper strips, with eggs stuffed in between. I then sprinkle the olives over the top. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
