Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a large saucepan of cold salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, and cook until the potatoes are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. If sweet potatoes are done before, remove with slotted spoon to colander. Drain the potatoes in colander, and rinse with cold water. When cool enough to handle, peel, and cut into 1-inch chunks.
- Transfer potatoes to a medium bowl; add reserved poblano pieces and half of dressing. Stir to combine well. Place lettuces in large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut tomatoes into halves, slices, or wedges, and toss well with greens.
- If plating salads individually, arrange greens on six plates, and divide warm potato salad evenly among them. Top each salad with a disc of goat cheese, and a sprinkle of scallions. Serve remaining dressing on the side.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes for the best flavor. - Use a variety of tomatoes for a more complex flavor, such as cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes. - Peel the tomatoes before slicing them to remove the skin, which can be tough and chewy. - Use a variety of potatoes for a more complex flavor and texture, such as red potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, and fingerling potatoes. - Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. - Allow the potatoes to cool completely before slicing them to prevent them from breaking apart. - Use a light hand when dressing the salad to avoid overpowering the flavors of the tomatoes and potatoes. - Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.Conclusion:
