It’s hard to improve upon a classic Niçoise salad. The combination of juicy tomatoes, oil-packed tuna, haricots verts and briny olives is so simple, yet so fresh and delicious. Enter the Spring Niçoise, a crunchy, colorful and (almost) too-pretty-to-eat version of this iconic French salad that makes use of what is popping up in farmers markets right now.
