About Salade Niçoise
Nice Côte d’Azur Tourist Office publishes this salade niçoise as the Cuisine Nissarde committee’s recipe. Tomatoes, green peppers, radishes, celery and spring onions form its vegetable base, with artichokes and broad beans included in season.
The ingredients are arranged on mesclun in a garlic-rubbed dish. Tuna in olive oil, salted anchovy fillets, hard-boiled egg quarters and Nice black olives add the source’s characteristic coastal flavours.
Basil, olive oil, salt and ground pepper finish the composed salad. The vegetables remain arranged rather than mixed together, and the source’s separate cucumber and red-wine-vinegar variations are kept outside this selected version.
