Niçoise salad

Tuna anchovy medley

A French composed salad originating from Nice, typically featuring tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, olives, anchovies, and tuna, dressed with olive oil.

Unlike tossed salads, the ingredients are arranged in sections rather than mixed: We shared a Niçoise salad on the patio.

The adjective Niçoise (in the style of Nice) applies to other dishes featuring similar Mediterranean ingredients.
