Salade Niçoise

Salade Niçoise is a traditional dish that originated in the French city of Nice and has become a staple in bistros across France. It is traditionally made of tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, Niçoise olives and anchovies or tuna, dressed with olive oil, or in some historical versions, a vinaigrette. Although many popular versions of this salad include potatoes, they are not part of the traditional composition.
