Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 191kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound new potatoes or russet potatoes, diced
- ½ small English cucumber peeled, sliced
- ¼ cup radishes sliced
- 1 celery stick diced
- 2 tablespoon green onion diced, optional
- 2 tablespoon fresh dill stems removed, diced
- 2 tablespoon fresh mint leaves diced
For the dressing
- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar more to preference
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper optional
Instructions
- Scrub the new potatoes and rinse well. Add to a large pot and pour in cold water so the potatoes are covered and there is another 2-3 inches of water above them. Lightly salt the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly so it is at a light simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes until fork tender. Drain in a colander.
- Make the dressing by combining the extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt and optional black pepper. Whisk to emulsify, taste test and adjust to preference.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl and toss in half the dressing.
- Dice the English cucumber (peeling is down to preference), radishes, green onion, celery, fresh mint leaves and dill.
- Once the potatoes are cooled, add in the diced vegetables and herbs. Toss to coat in the oil, then add the remaining dressing to preference (you may not wish to use all of it, to taste). Spoon onto your serving plate, season with a pinch more salt and enjoy!
Notes
- If using russet potatoes rather than small new potatoes, I suggest to dice into halves or quarters depending upon size before cooking.
- I suggest to use half the dressing first, have a taste test and then add more to preference as we all like different amounts!
