    Niçoise salad or Salade niçoise  as it is called in France is a delicious and beautiful dish to serve. It would make a perfect light lunch any day. 

    France nicoise saladSometimes anchovies are added to this but it gets its name Niçoise salad  from the small black olives that come from Nice. If you want to try the real thing (which I highly recommend) you can get them here.  If you can not find them you can substitute a kalmata but get the kind in the brine to be more authentic.  Of course add what you like and eliminate what you don't. 

    This recipe was awesome and the dressing really made the salad.  Light, simple and refreshing. Bon Appetit!
