30 minutes
Nicoise salad with arugula is an elegant and light dish of French cuisine inspired by the classic recipe from Nice. It harmoniously combines fresh vegetables, spicy arugula, tender tuna, and tangy olives, while the dressing of olive oil and wine vinegar highlights the natural flavor nuances. This salad has a balanced taste – from the slight bitterness of arugula to the sweetness of tomatoes and the tenderness of soft-boiled eggs. In traditional French cuisine, Nicoise is often served in warm weather when its freshness and lightness are especially appreciated. It works well as a standalone dish or as a side to fish and white wine. The exquisite simplicity of this salad makes it a favorite among Mediterranean cuisine enthusiasts.
