Best Salad Of Boiled Potatoes Avocado And Cress Recipes

POTATO & AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Slice the potatoes into thick rounds and boil for about 10 mins until tender, then drain. Whisk the olive oil and lemon juice together in a large bowl with a little salt and pepper, then toss in the hot potatoes and leave to cool.
• Halve, stone and peel the avocados and cut into similar-sized chunks. When ready to serve, toss all the ingredients in with the potatoes and serve straight away.

POTATO AND WATERCRESS SALAD

Steps:

• Remove and discard eyes and any damaged parts of potatoes, but do not peel them. Rinse well under cold water, place in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil over high heat; then, reduce heat to medium. Boil gently until potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Drain any water from the potatoes, and spread them out in a gratin dish to cool. When cool enough to handle, cut the unpeeled potatoes into 1/2-inch slices. Spread the slices out in a single layer, so they are less likely to break, in the gratin dish.
• Trim the watercress stems, removing about 2 inches, and set the trimmings aside for a soup, perhaps. Wash the trimmed watercress and dry thoroughly. There should be about 4 cups.
• Mix the remaining ingredients together in a bowl large enough to hold the finished salad. Do not worry if these dressing ingredients separate. The mixture should not be emulsified.
• At serving time, add the potatoes and watercress to the dressing in the bowl, and toss lightly but thoroughly. Serve immediately, as the watercress tends to wilt quickly once it is combined with the dressing.
