SALAD OF BOILED POTATOES, AVOCADO AND CRESS



Salad of Boiled Potatoes, Avocado and Cress image

I had to do this salad, even though cress must be one of the tackiest things in the world. For some reason I'm absolutely addicted to it and love it to bits. This is my favorite combination.

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pound scrubbed new waxy potatoes
1 large ripe avocado
3 bunches of cress, water or pepper, washed
Olive oil
1 to 2 lemons, juiced
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the new potatoes in salted boiling water until very tender, then drain. Slice the avocado in half and remove the stone. Peel and slice it lengthways into thick slices or chunks (however you really like) and place in a bowl. Slice any large potatoes in half--this will expose their flesh to the olive oil and lemon juice. If they are small, leave them whole. Add to the bowl. Throw the cress in, then add a couple of good lugs (tablespoons) of olive oil and lemon juice, to taste. Season and toss. Serve on a big plate, scattered with any remaining cress. This is brilliant with chicken, fish or as a salad on its own, especially in the summer.;

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons lemon juice plus 2 teaspoons lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons minced shallot
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup diced celery, plus 1 heaping tablespoon chopped celery leaves

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan. Cover them with cold water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender but still hold their shape, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the lemon juice, mustard, shallot, honey and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender. Blend until smooth. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the oil.
  • When the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and tap out any excess water so the potatoes are as dry as possible. Transfer the warm potatoes to a large bowl.

LEMON POTATO SALAD WITH MINT



Lemon Potato Salad With Mint image

This light and refreshing potato salad is the antithesis of the usual, creamy, mayonnaise-based recipes. The mint and scallion add a bright, herbal flavor while the sprinkle of chile lends a kick. Make this the morning you plan to serve it and let it marinate at room temperature all day long. Or refrigerate for longer storage but be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving. Other herbs like cilantro, parsley, tarragon and sage can be substituted for the mint; adjust the quantity to taste.

AVOCADO POTATO SALAD



Avocado Potato Salad image

I got this potato salad recipe from a friend who got it from an adapted recipe from the California Avocado Commission. It's a wonderful recipe, that is lighter because the wonderful tangy dressing substitutes for mayo in most salads such as this. Lots of wonderful flavors, textures, and colors! You may serve this at room temperature, but it is best covered tightly and chilled for 1 to 3 hrs before serving. Can be prepared up to three hours in advance before serving.

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Choose firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or New Potatoes. Avoid starchy varieties like Russet potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: Boiling is the best method as it prevents the potatoes from absorbing too much water and becoming mushy.
  • Cool the potatoes thoroughly: Allow the potatoes to cool completely before adding them to the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light dressing: A simple vinaigrette or a lemon-tahini dressing is a good option. Avoid heavy dressings like mayonnaise or cream-based dressings, as they can overpower the delicate flavors of the salad.
  • Add fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or chives add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.
