There has been much debate about the true ingredients of Nicoise Salad, some more puritanical chefs gatekeeping its name and others just happy to experiment with a loose idea in mind. Our Thermomix recipe keeps it simple and tasty with tinned tuna, eggs, potatoes and green beans. If you're feeling adventurous, get some herbs like dill involved for an extra touch of freshness, or throw in some capers to add to the olives' saltiness. The world is your oyster; dig in and discover the joy of salad.
