Bistro Potato Salad
Serves 2
A refreshingly light supper salad filled with herbs and dressed with a sherry vinaigrette.
For the salad:
2 pounds new potatoes
2 large free range eggs
1 tsp vinegar
1 small handful of spinach leaves trimmed
1 small handful of mixed lettuce leaves
several sprigs of tarragon, finely chopped
2 mint leaves, finely chopped
5 sprigs of dill, finely chopped
2 spring onions, finely chopped
1 TBS roughly chopped chives
4 radishes, finely sliced
fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the dressing:
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 TBS good sherry vinegar
3 TBS olive oil
Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes until al dente. While the potatoes are cooking, hard-boil the eggs in a small saucepan to which you have added 1 tsp vinegar. Bring the water to the boil then slide the eggs carefully into the boiling water. Cook for 8 to 9 minutes, then drain and run under cold water until they are cool enough to handle. Peel, cut into quarters and set aside.
Drain the potatoes and refresh under cold water. Peel and then cut the potatoes into thick slices. Put them in a bowl and drizzle with some sherry vinegar.
Arrange the salad leaves on a large serving dish, leaving a space in the centre for the potatoes. Sprinkle with the herbs, spring onions and chives. Season with salt and drizzle with a bit more sherry vinegar. Put the potatoes in the centre and arrange the egg quarters around them.
Whisk together the mustard, vinegar and oil for the vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the potato salad. Sprinkle with a few extra herbs and the radish slices and serve.
We seriously made short work of this in no time . . . it was unctuously delicious. Creamy new potatoes, crisp and peppery radishes, herby salad leaves . . . and a dressing with punch. Glorious!
