The main ingredient has always been tuna, either raw, or canned, but never either or anchovies. The are customarily added as well as the tuna.

#Susan Read the recipe again. Where it suggests anchovies, there is also a suggestion for tuna.

I agree with susan. A Niçoise ALWAYS has tuna, of some fashion.

Salad Nicoise has tuna! Where's the tuna in this recipe. Not authentic.

Looks a lovely recipe. When I ordered this in St. Paul de Vence it was lettuce with a tin of tuna dumped on and a few bits of tomato!

J'ai toujours ajouté des pommes de terre coupées en tranche sur lesquelles j'ai versé une bonne vinaigrette à la moutarde de Dijon pendant que les pommes de terre étaient encore chaudes. Je ne connaîssais ni le concombre ni les poivrons ni les cœurs d'artichaut. A part ça, c'est assez traditionnel. Une autre bonne recette estivale est le pan bagnat, également connu en Provence. Bon appétit !
