Description

In the traditional version of the classic Niçoise salad, neither lettuce nor boiled vegetables nor vinegar are used. And remember, a resident of Nice would never think to make a salad with fresh tuna. This dish is based on canned tuna. If the olives are canned, it is advisable to place the olives without brine in a separate container in advance, and drizzle them with a mixture of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a pinch of herbes de Provence.
