Recipe of the week
Brown rice Niçoise-ish salad
This week, I have another non-traditional rendition, a Niçoise-ish salad served with brown rice and a choose-your-own-adventure dressing. You have two choices, both excellent but quite different and mood/pantry-dependent: a slightly sweet, aromatic chive vinaigrette or a creamy, briny tartar sauce. Which one will you choose?

I started making salads from my home kitchen in Surry Hills, Sydney in 2011. Twice a week, I would dream up hearty, delicious, vegetable-packed salads, pack them onto the back of my bicycle and cycle them around my neighbourhood, delivering lunch to locals.
I called my little project Arthur Street Kitchen, because I lived on Arthur Street and my home kitchen was my happy place, where I would spend countless hours creating and feeding.
Soon, the local salad-eaters became an intrinsic part of my community.
