Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 1 avocado (ripe)
- 75 grams Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 garlic (small clove, minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 green onions (sliced thinly)
- 4 radishes (thinly sliced)
Instructions
Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove dirt, then place them in a large pot.
Cover the potatoes with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the avocado dressing. Scoop the flesh of the ripe avocado into a blender or food processor.
Add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. If the potatoes are larger than bite-sized, cut them into halves or quarters.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, sliced green onions, and sliced radishes.
Pour the avocado dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill before serving. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
