Join my online French cooking classes 👨‍🍳: learn.thefrenchcookingacademy... The Salad Nicoise is one of the most famous french salad form the south of France or more precisely from the Town of Nice. This Tune salad is part of a range of Mediterranean food that is being made by French locals all along the Mediterranean coast.

3 spring onions ( sliced)

    Looks good. I used to get a salade niçoise from a small kiosk near the port of Nice on the Place de I'lle de Beauté for my lunch. Delicious. Hop around the corner to Rue Fodéré and my office and enjoy. Pity the kiosk is no longer there and the whole area has turned into a tourist trap. Thankfully Le Cassini is still there where you can go buy a Loto and enjoy a pizza reine or escalopes panée.

    the best salade I never taste. I really like how the olive oil, black pepper, anchovies and tuna come together to give it a special taste. different from mayonnaise or vinaigrete we have everyday. Thanks again.

    I am a total devotee - I am a German guy from the Saarland region that moved to California and now have cooked the Sorel sauce with (grilled) Salmon and the aspargus with butter. I am learning a lot and I am very thankful for your skills. You should open a place with a cooking school. I would like to see what are your favorite cooking tools and what meal you could prepare ahead of time ( marinade/ ready to cook) that you can get from the freezer and whip something up.

I never knew that the original salade nicoise doesn't use any cooked veggies... and this authentic version definitely looks very fresh and delicious. I have tried some of your recipes and they all turned out great. I will definitely try this one too. Merci beaucoup!

    I make my own version of Nicoise which some of you might like. Very similar to this except for two thing. One: I use the conserve jar bell pepper (very delicious) and two: instead of artichoke hearts, I use roasted Brussel sprouts. Brussel sprouts are delicious when you roast them halved and seasoned with just complete seasoning and olive oil. The left overs are perfect for this salad instead of the artichokes.

    Bonjour chef. Salut bu Brésil encore une fois. Currently one of my best selling products in my shop are salads in a a jar. They are one serving only but a very large portion. There is a limit on what you can put there so it can last around 5 days in a fridge. So we can not use some things yoy put on a salads assembled and eaten fresh. However... This take on le salad Niçoise looks extremely interesting. I have a challenge for you. How about you help me working out a version of this salad with whatever changes are necessary to put it in a jar and last for a few days in the fridge? Merci beaucoup

    It is quite hard to find fresh tuna at my fishmonger here in Norway. I tend to have to resort to other fish like monkfish, ling, turbot, plaice and such like. Wine pairings are rather hard with this dish in my view. There is so much going on in the dish. I've mostly ended up going with simple wines like Picpoul de Pinet or similar light refreshing whites. I guess you could argue for Rose from Provence, but I find the floral aromas are a bit so and so with the salade.

    I would grind the anchovies in to the olive oil and lemon juice to get the flavor more spread through the salad. I have found people will eat my recipes with anchovies if they don't eat the whole fish at once.
