small fava beans (150 g) can replace the artichokes, depending on the season and 100 g tuna can replace the anchovies, or you can use tuna, with a few anchovy strips on the top./The true "salade niçoise" is made of all fresh vegetables (never, never cooked), boiled eggs, and sometimes a few anchovies. In local restaurants and cafés it will be served with tuna as well, but that's a recent addition; tuna fish was too expensive to use until modern times. You can order a salade niçoise at the restaurant to go with your meal, but it's just as popular as a complete lunch during the summertime.
Quarter the tomatoes (optionally, salt them lightly before putting them in).
3
Quarter or slice the eggs. Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin slices. Slice the green pepper, the onions and the artichokes (or fava beans) into thin rings.
4
Chop the garlic in half and rub the two pieces liberally on the inside of a large salad bowl.
5
Put the ingredients into the bowl, with the tomatoes going in last, and a few anchovy strips on top. Instead of mixing the ingredients, they are usually arranged for color and appearance.
