SALADE NICOISE

 

 

There is a big debate regarding the ingredients of this Nicoise salad! I am bringing you the true and authentic recipe! All the ingredients must be eaten raw except the eggs! I hope you will appreciate this unique salad from the French Riviera! Drink a fabulous Rose from the South of France with it! Enjoy!
