-The traditional recipe has sparked passionate debate, particularly regarding what should and should not be included. Purists, including renowned Niçois chef Jacques Médecin, insist on raw vegetables only—no cooked vegetables such as green beans or potatoes((Médecin, Jacques. //Cuisine Niçoise: Recipes from a Mediterranean Kitchen//.
