The Nicoise salad originated in France and was made popular in the US back in the 20’s. All I remember of it from childhood is that everyone turned their nose up at it. You saw it at the grocery store deli counter and were confused as to who’d place potatoes and string beans AND tuna in a salad?! And why was it never mixed?! And how does a person even pronounce Nicoise?! Then when I was a teenager, I went to France for the first time. I remember sitting in a little cafe in the countryside and my mom ordered a Nicoise salad. Apart from the anchovies, it was like heaven. All the veggies were crisp and you could design each bite exactly how you wanted it.
