Classic Salad Nicoise

Ludo Lefebvre

1908 reviews

A classic French salad originating from the city of Nice. Chef Ludo's version stays true to tradition, with lots of fresh veggies and high-quality tuna that has been cured in olive oil. A bed of mixed greens is topped with carefully arranged green beans, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, radishes, and hard-boiled eggs. A classic vinaigrette brings the whole salad together, making it the ideal hearty lunch or light dinner.

Why everybody loves this meal

This is one of my favorite meals, and I appreciate that this last week or two, the onions were gone. I used to have to take them off. It is now more classically french.

I don't usually like salad Nicoise, but I liked this version. All the ingredients had a great taste. I didn't eat mine right away, but the freshness was still good. I'll be ordering again.
