nicoise salad

Tuna, olives, anchovies

Nicoise salad is a composed salad from the French city of Nice, traditionally featuring tuna, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, olives, anchovies, and green beans arranged on a bed of lettuce.

Unlike tossed salads, the ingredients are placed in distinct sections rather than mixed: The nicoise salad arrived with everything in neat piles.
