As suggested by the name, it is a specialty of the region of Nice in France and is composed of raw vegetables, hard boiled eggs, anchovies and tuna, and olive oil.
Contrary to what is often seen in restaurants and many recipes, the classic ni?oise salad does not contain rice, potatoes, cheese, pasta or cooked vegetables.
