Salade Nicoise is a popular French salad. I am substituting the salad leaves in this salad with curry flavored white basmati rice. It makes for a filling lunch when served cold in warm weather. The essential elements of Nicoise salad are tuna fish, eggs, tomatoes, olives, and beans. The use of white basmati rice flavored with curry powder is a twist I made in this recipe.
