Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Potatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.5 bunch Parsley
- 0.25 bunch Fresh mint
- 4 stalks Green onions
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the pot to a boil, reduce the heat, and let the potatoes cook for approximately 25-30 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the parsley, mint, and green onions. Thinly slice the red onion, and cut the cherry tomatoes into halves.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly. Peel the skin off the potatoes (optional) and cut them into bite-sized cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes, chopped parsley, mint, green onions, red onion slices, and cherry tomato halves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss everything together until well-coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve the salad slightly warm or at room temperature as a side dish or a light meal.
