Salade niçoise brings together tomatoes and other vegetables with ingredients such as eggs, olives, anchovies or tuna. Traditional Nice interpretations emphasize raw vegetables, while restaurant versions outside the city may add cooked components. The menu description is the best guide to the actual plate. Look at the fish, vegetables and dressing rather than assuming a single universal recipe.
