PRESERVED LEMON POTATO SALAD

Preserved Lemon Potato Salad image

This no-mayo potato salad is an excellent dish to serve year-round. It's bursting with Mediterranean flavor thanks to kalamata olives, preserved lemon, lots of fresh herbs and a splash of olive oil. It's a great side for grilled meat or fish, and since it doesn't contain mayonnaise it's a good option for a picnic or barbecue where you won't have easy access to a fridge.

Ingredients

4 russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup parsley, leaves and tender stems, chopped
1/2 cup dill, chopped
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
4 scallions, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
3/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
1 preserved lemon (see Cook's Note)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
2 to 3 tablespoons juice from preserved lemons

Steps:

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt to the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat, cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the parsley, dill, mint and scallions in a large bowl. Add the red onion and olives and stir to combine.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and let them cool completely. Chop the boiled potatoes into bite-size (about 3/4-inch) pieces. Add the potatoes to the bowl with the herbs and toss. Remove the flesh of the preserved lemon (discard the seeds and save the flesh for another use.) Finely chop the lemon rind (peel); you should have about 2 tablespoons. Add the rind to the bowl along with the garlic, olive oil, honey, 2 tablespoons of preserved lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Give it a good stir and taste; if it needs more salt, add another 1 tablespoon or so of the preserved lemon juice (see Cook's Note). Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

SPINACH SALAD WITH LEMON AND MINT

Spinach Salad With Lemon and Mint image

This salad is a snip, but then one would hardly expect a salad to cause trouble. Using a lemon rather than just lemon juice as an ingredient makes for the most fabulous salad regardless of leaves. And by all means, serve it as a starter rather than a follow-up on the main course. It is fresh, sharp, vegan and delicious.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh lemons. Bottled lemon juice can be substituted, but the flavor will not be as bright.
If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint. However, fresh mint will give the salad a more refreshing flavor.
To make the salad ahead of time, cook the potatoes and hard-boil the eggs the day before. Then, assemble the salad and chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
This salad is also delicious served warm. If you prefer a warm salad, simply omit the chilling step.
For a vegan version of this salad, omit the eggs and use a vegan mayonnaise.

Conclusion:

This lemon potato salad with mint is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you are looking for a new potato salad recipe, give this one a try!
