Salad Niçoise hails from Nice, on the Mediterranean Sea, though like so many foods we enjoy here at DropChef, we have tweaked it a bit to adapt it to our style. According to our Chef the French Niçoise salads are made with baby potatoes and served with anchovies. We wanted to add an exotic touch so we went with vitolette potatoes and smoked salmon :)

These days black rice is available for everyone to enjoy and so it should be - black rice contains protective anthocyanins as well as lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids known for protecting eye health from harmful UV radiation!
