8. Salade Nicoise

- A vibrant, bright salad which is loved the world over, Salade Niçoise epitomizes the south of France (Niçoise indicates it's from the city of Nice). There are many versions of it but a classic dish should contain top-quality canned tuna in olive oil, black olives, boiled eggs, salad leaves, and tomatoes. You can add in some baby new potatoes or blanched green beans too. It's dressed simply with red wine vinegar and olive oil.
