NICOISE SALAD is the classic French Riviera summer salad recipe!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Niçoise salad is a traditional French salad from the city of Nice that's perfect for your next summer dinner party. It starts with a large platter of leafy greens and gets topped with boiled eggs, flaked tuna, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and a drizzle of lemon vinaigrette.
After ordering plenty of Niçoise salads (Salade Niçoise in French) while traveling through France, I like to think of this as a fresher, French Riviera version of America's beloved cobb salad. But instead of bacon, avocado, and cheese, you'll swap in ingredients that highlight the Mediterranean coast. Think light seafood, briny olives, crisp cucumbers, and green beans - a palette that touches everything I love about healthy and fresh Mediterranean food.

Wow, what a delightful video showcasing the amazing Nicoise salad! I absolutely loved how beautifully it captured the essence of this classic French dish. From the vibrant colors of the fresh ingredients to the meticulous arrangement on the plate, every detail was a feast for the eyes. The way the video highlighted the medley of flavors in the Nicoise salad was truly mouthwatering. The combination of crisp lettuce, tender green beans, perfectly boiled eggs, briny olives, and succulent tuna was simply divine. I could almost taste the tangy vinaigrette dressing, which added the perfect touch of brightness to the dish. The presentation was impeccable, as the video expertly demonstrated the art of plating a Nicoise salad. The careful arrangement of each component demonstrated both skill and creativity. I found myself inspired to recreate this masterpiece in my own kitchen. Moreover, the video was not only visually appealing but also informative. The step-by-step instructions, accompanied by helpful tips and tricks, made it easy to follow along and understand the process of preparing this exquisite salad. It was evident that a lot of care and attention went into creating this video, making it a true pleasure to watch. Overall, this video beautifully captured the essence of a Nicoise salad, showcasing its fresh ingredients, harmonious flavors, and elegant presentation. It left me feeling inspired and eager to savor the delightful combination of textures and tastes in this classic French dish. Well done!
I love this recipe and how everyone can tweak it according to their likes/dislikes. I would definitely include white beans cooked with rosemary because I love them. Thank you for sharing!
Yesterday I made for lunch. It was very delicious Thank you 💚
I am fortunate to have had parents who, while THEY weren't that adventurous food wise, had many international friends. (And this was the golden era where you ate what was put in front of you, as a kid.) So I had an amazing palate for my age. Nicoise salad was a frequent treat. Anchovies and all! ❤
I was able to spend two weeks in the south of France with my daughter this past April. My first visit and just loved it. Thank you for the recipe.

Beautiful looking salad! Simple ingredients with a punch of fresh flavored ingredients all which are easy to obtain. Hands down your method of cooking eggs is 100% fool proof and yours look so much more appealing than any other salad I've ever seen! Castelvetrano olives are the best they are so buttery, great to add this selection to any mezze plate one of my favorite olives.❤

I like salade niçoise with grilled fresh tuna and several salty anchovies. It’s a really flavoursome dish. Lucky you to have spent some time on the Côte d’Azur! Did you get to try pissaladière (a type of French pizza with fried onions, anchovies, olives and tomatoes? It’s delish too 😋)

If you were to meal prep this, would you recommend storing the components separately or together? And wait to put dressing until eating?

Definitely a very healthy salad. Tho I'm not so big on salads. I boil kale and collards until they have a slight toothy chew. Then eat it cold. Kinda like a salad.
Lovely video! One note if I may - please curl your fingertips under when holding food and using a knife in the other hand to slice or dice. Let your knuckles guide the side of the blade. This prevents accidents, too.
Love Nicoise but as much as Love it a lot to make for one person. Just one question: Anchovies? And PS if you can get them try Gaeta Olives in place of the kalamata.
You certainly have this salad nailed. I wonder what you learned about the name for this salad - is the proper name Salad Niçoise or Niçoise Salad? I enjoy your channel and often refer to it for some great ideas and inspiration which I greatly need from time to time.

Potatoes have to be started in cold water (as all underground vegetables). If not, they could cook unevenly or be mealy.
