Salade Niçoise is one of the great summer dishes of Southern
France. It fits right into the picturesque setting of a sunny, coastal Mediterranean
lunch with a bottle of crisp white wine and a vibrant table setting that
reflects the nearby sea. A true Salade Niçoise should not have any cooked
vegetables or lettuce in it, although most versions we see here in the States have
boiled new potatoes and blanched haricot verts. For a more authentic take,
check out David
Lebovitz’s classic version.

Remember the white wine we envisioned in our picturesque
coastal Mediterranean lunch? Nothing could be more quintessential than a wine
hailing from the heart of Southern France:
Provence. Look no further than The
Chateau Revelette Provence Blanc, a beautifully bright and aromatic white that
is a refreshing companion with the varied textures and bright flavors of the Salade
Niçoise.
