POTATO AND HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD



Potato and Heirloom Tomato Salad image

Summer's heirloom tomatoes are combined with white and sweet potatoes and fresh greens in a salad tossed with a spicy southwestern dressing. Creamy goat-cheese slices are served on top.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, (about 1 pound)
2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound)
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for water
Reserved poblano pieces
Poblano and Tomatillo Dressing
1 bunch red-leaf lettuce, washed and torn into bite-size pieces
1 small bunch romaine lettuce, washed and torn into bite-size pieces
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of freshly ground pepper
8 ounces assorted heirloom and cherry tomatoes
6 ounces fresh goat cheese, cut into 12 disks
2 scallions, sliced into very thin rings

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:

This simple and refreshing salad is a great way to enjoy fresh tomatoes and potatoes from your garden. With just a few ingredients and minimal preparation, you can create a delicious and healthy side dish or light meal.
