Recipe for success: Potato Salad

Although this tasty potato salad works beautifully on its own, why not serve with a salmon fillet and a garden salad to create the perfect portion of carbohydrate, protein and vegetables?

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • Baby potatoes (peeled) - 600g

Dressing

  • Chives (chopped) - 1 tablespoon
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
  • Capers - 1 tablespoon
  • Dijon mustard - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil over a high heat. Boil for 15 minutes or until tender and drain. If you're making them for a cold salad, allow to cool and then slice, otherwise slice whilst warm.
