Salade Niçoise or

A delicious tuna salad from the South of France. It's highlights are fresh local ingredients, such as tomatoes, anchovies and black olives. Great served with fresh french bread on the side or as a filling for a crusty baguette. This is a fine basic recipe but feel free to spice it up with some fresh herbs as well.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I really enjoyed this salad. The other ingredients really balanced out the flavor of the tuna.
