Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the pot to a boil and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooling, peel and dice the avocados into bite-sized chunks. Place the diced avocados in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and parsley, then add them to the bowl with the avocados.
Once the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size. Add them to the bowl with the avocado mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the potato and avocado mixture, tossing gently to coat everything evenly. Be careful not to mash the avocados.
Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve at room temperature or chilled. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
