Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 700 grams baby potatoes
- 2 pieces avocados
- 1 small red onion
- 15 grams fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 piece garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing by whisking together lime juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, ground cumin, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Dice the avocados and finely slice the red onion. Chop the fresh cilantro leaves as well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled, cut potatoes, diced avocado, sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
Pour the tangy dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
