salad niçoise

Salade niçoise is traditionally made of tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, Niçoise olives and anchovies, and is dressed with olive oil.
Salade niçoise (French pronunciation: [niˈswaz]), la salada nissarda in the Niçard dialect of the Occitan language, is a salad that originated in the French city of Nice. It is traditionally made of tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, Niçoise olives and anchovies, and is dressed with olive oil. It has been popular worldwide since the early 20th century. It can be served either as a composed salad or as a tossed salad. Freshly cooked or canned tuna may be used. The salad may include raw red peppers, shallots, artichoke hearts and other seasonal raw vegetables. Raw green beans harvested in the spring, when they are still young and crisp, may be included. However, cooked green beans and potatoes are commonly served in variations of salade niçoise that are popular around the world.
