Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 small red-skinned potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds (about 14 ounces)
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives
6 anchovy fillets
1 tablespoon drained capers
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 green onions (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced
5 teaspoons chopped fennel fronds (optional)
4 medium-size ripe tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
1/2 English hothouse cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded, sliced crosswise
4 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet), coarsely crumbled
Fresh basil sprigs

Steps:

  • Steam potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Blend olives, anchovies, capers and garlic in processor until coarsely pureed. Gradually blend in oil, then lemon juice. Transfer mixture to large bowl. Add green onions and fennel fronds, if desired; stir to blend. Season olive mixture with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes, cucumber and potatoes to olive mixture. Toss to coat. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle goat cheese over salad. Garnish with basil sprigs and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the lemons. This will help them absorb the marinade more easily.
  • Pack the lemons tightly into the jar. This will help them stay submerged in the marinade.
  • Cover the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. The lemons will need to marinate for at least 2 weeks, but they can be left for up to 6 months.
  • Once the lemons are ready, rinse them off and pat them dry. They can be used in a variety of dishes, such as salads, pasta dishes, and tagines.
  • The goat cheese in this salad can be substituted with feta cheese or crumbled blue cheese.
  • For a vegan version of this salad, omit the goat cheese and add some roasted chickpeas or lentils.

Conclusion:

This olive, preserved lemon, and goat cheese salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of salty olives, tangy preserved lemons, creamy goat cheese, and fresh herbs is simply divine.
