I found the Salad Nicoise in Nice to be different than I had expected (given all of the recipes I had seen). IIRC, the salads in Nice used canned tuna (packed in olive oil), but veered from the traditional recipes in that there were fewer haricots verts and anchovies. Yet, still a nice combination of local greens, hard-cooked eggs, olives, tuna. I love a good Salad Nicoise, but detest it when it is made with fresh rare tuna...it is the canned, olived-packed tuna which seals the deal
