Radishes add a splash of crunch and peppery flavour to this honey-scented salad. So many potato salads are dressed in a thick sauce. This one however, is quite light and colourful with a tasty yet delicate dressing.
Serves four to six
INGREDIENTS
450g/1lb new or salad potatoes
45ml/3 tbsp olive oil
15ml/1 tbsp walnut or hazelnut oil (optional)
30ml/2 tbsp wine vinegar
10ml/2 tsp coarse-grain mustard
5ml/1 tsp honey
about 6-8 radishes, thinly sliced
30ml/2 tbsp snipped chives
salt and ground black pepper
- Cook the potatoes in their skins in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender. Drain the potatoes through a colander and leave to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes in half, but leave any small ones whole. Return the potatoes to a large bowl.
- To make the dressing, place the oils, vinegar, mustard, honey and seasoning in a bowl. Mix them together until thoroughly combined.
- Toss the dressing into the potatoes in the bowl while they are still cooling and leave to stand for an hour or so to allow the flavours to penetrate.
- Finally mix in the sliced radishes and snipped chives and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, toss the salad mixture together again, as some of the dressing may have settled on the bottom and adjust the seasoning.
Variations
• Sliced celery, diced red onions and/or chopped walnuts would make good alternatives to the radishes if you can´t get hold of any.
Tips
• For best effect, serve on a platter lined with frilly lettuce leaves.
