Summertime is fast approaching, which means that Maxime will get to make/eat one of his favorite summer dishes- salads! Seriously, he loves them.

‘Salade niçoise’ is named after the city of Nice in southeast France and is usually served as an appetizer or a side. While there are many variants nowadays, the traditional recipe includes tomatoes, anchovies, and olive oil. Instead of hard-boiled eggs, we prefer ours soft-boiled for that lovely jammy texture.

Watch the short video below the recipe card to see how we assemble ours!
