Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 30 grams Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes. Place them in a medium-sized pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set them aside.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and set it aside as well.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic clove, salt, and ground black pepper to create the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over the ingredients and toss gently to ensure everything is well coated.
Serve the salad immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to chill before serving. Enjoy!
