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.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

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.

Roasted Potatoes with Preserved Lemon, Garlic, and Chiles image

Salty, tangy preserved lemon plays two parts here: it's roasted on the same pan as the potatoes, along with garlic, jalapenos, and red onion, and it's used to amp up the parsley-and-mint salad that's sprinkled on just before serving.

RED ONION, PARSLEY, AND PRESERVED LEMON SALAD



Red Onion, Parsley, and Preserved Lemon Salad image

Categories     Salad     Onion     Side     Vegetarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Lemon     Summer     Parsley     Gourmet     Vegan     Pescatarian     Paleo     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 6 as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups thinly sliced red onions
1/2 cup coarsely fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
peel of 1/8 preserved lemon cut into julienne strips, plus 1/3 cup preserved lemon juice or fresh lemon juice to taste
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
a pinch cayenne, or to taste
coarse salt to taste
Preserved Lemons:
4 large (about 6 ounces each) lemons (preferably thin-skinned), scrubbed
2/3 cup coarse salt
1 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 5 large lemons)
olive oil

Steps:

  • To prepare salad:
  • In a bowl cover onions with cold water and soak 30 minutes. Drain onions well and pat dry between layers of paper towels. In a bowl stir together onions with remaining ingredients and let stand, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes.
  • To make Paula Wolfert's Seven-Day Preserved Lemons:
  • Dry lemons well and cut each into 8 wedges. In a bowl toss wedges with salt and transfer to a glass jar (about 6-cup capacity). Add lemon juice and cover jar with a tight-fitting glass lid or plastic-coated lid. Let lemons stand at room temperature 7 days, shaking jar each day to redistribute salt and juice. Add oil to cover lemons and store, covered and chilled, up to 6 months. Makes 4 preserved lemons.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your salad. Choose ripe, red onions, fresh parsley, and preserved lemons that are not too salty.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing and become more tender.
  • Soak the onions in cold water for at least 30 minutes: This will help to remove some of their sharpness.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what will bring all the flavors of the salad together. Use a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add some protein: If you want to make a more substantial salad, add some grilled or roasted chicken, fish, or shrimp.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served fresh. The onions will start to lose their crunch if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This red onion, parsley, and preserved lemon salad is a bright, flavorful, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh summer produce, and it is also a healthy and delicious option for a light lunch or dinner. With its vibrant colors and tangy flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a refreshing and flavorful salad, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
