Healthy and deli­cious, the Nicoise Sal­ad is a spe­cial­i­ty from the city of Nice, on the French Riv­iera. Hence the name nicoise (mean­ing “from Nice”, actu­al­ly spelled “niçoise” in French). This sal­ad comes in dif­fer­ent vari­a­tions. At a min­i­mum, it con­tains tuna and/or anchovies, toma­toes, olives, hard-boiled eggs, and olive oil in the dress­ing. It makes for a full meal, that is light, refresh­ing and healthy!

Recipe

This is my own easy recipe. I am not a fan of anchovies, so I only have tuna in my sal­ad. Feel free to add anchovies, if you wish.
