This is one of my new creation and I eat this as a light meal on my meatless day or serve as a side salad with burgers. As I found that having a potato salad with just potato is too plain, by adding some greens into it adds more fibre and the pine nuts simply is a nice garnish with a bit of a crunch. I choose to use Japanese Mayonnaise because it has a full flavour of whole egg, bears in mind though it has 80% of fat so don't over dressing it as I know it is hard not to! My sister fed her fussy 2 years old with this salad and she just sat quietly and ate them all.
Potato Salad with Japanese Mayo and Pine Nuts
4-5 baby potatoes
a bowl of leafy mix (fancy lettuce, baby spinach leaves, rockets and beetroot leaves)
a small handful of pine nuts, toasted
Japanese Mayonnaise
salt and coarse black pepper to taste
Method:
- Peel the skin of the potatoes (you can leave the skin if you wish) and cut into cubes. Cook the potatoes cubes into boiling water until cooked. If you can poke a fork into the cubes, it is ready.
- Drain the water and leave the potatoes cool. Rinse the leafy mix with water and drain as well.
- Put the leafy mix and potatoes into a big bowl. Add the pine nuts and mayo. Seasoned with salt and coarse black pepper before serving. Enjoy!
A lovely creation,Veron. Sounds wonderful.
