Niçoise
There are many stories about the origins of the Niçoise salad, a French dish traditionally made with tomatoes, anchovies, olives, and hard-boiled eggs. Some say it was created in the city of Nice, while others claim it originated in the Provence region.
It is believed that the salad was first made in the late 19th century, when tomatoes were introduced to the region. Anchovies were also a common ingredient in Provençal cuisine. Olives and eggs were likely added to the salad for their nutritional value.
The Niçoise salad became a popular dish in the 20th century, when it was served in cafes and restaurants across France. Today, it is a staple of French cuisine and can be found on menus all over the world.
