PURPLE POTATO SALAD WITH LEMON ROSEMARY DRESSING-1

All potatoes contain high levels of anti-inflammatory antioxidants. Purple potatoes, however, contain about four times as many antioxidants as other potato varieties due to their high content of anthocyanins—the phytonutrient that gives these potatoes their beautiful deep bluish-purple color. Rosemary also contains several powerful anti-inflammatory phytonutrients, including carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid. Serve this antioxidant-rich potato salad as part of a summer picnic or as part of a nourishing evening meal. 

Ingredients
2 pounds purple potatoes
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
1½ teaspoons sea salt (divided)
½ teaspoons black pepper
¼ cups snipped fresh chives
