The classic French salade Nicoise features tuna, and we have that version for you too, along with one that uses smoked trout.   Salade Nicoise is a salade composé, meaning that it is composed on a plate as opposed to tossed in a bowl. It allows you to create an artful look, quite easily. “Nicoise” refers to the fact that the dish hails from Nice, in the south of France.   The typical ingredients are tuna, steamed green beans and new potatoes, hard-boiled egg, Nicoise olives, and tomatoes. This version sticks fairly close to the original but features salmon and takes advantage of briny, pungent capers, which fit the southern French flavor profile.
