New Potato Salad
This delicious stew is rich in nutrients and flavour- perfect for a hearty meal
- Serves 4
- Preparation Time: 60 mins
- Cooking Time: 80 mins
You will need:
900 g tiny new potatoes, scrubbed
2 tablespoons dry white vermouth or dry white wine
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar, or to taste
pepper to taste
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
3 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
5 tablespoons natural low-fat yogurt
1/2 large firm cucumber, diced
80 g spring onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
fresh dill and tarragon leaves to garnish
Here's how:
1. Cook the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water for about 10 minutes or until they are just tender. Drain and return them to the pan. Set over a low heat and shake them around for a few minutes to evaporate any moisture. Transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl and leave to cool for about 5 minutes.
2. Sprinkle the vermouth or wine and wine vinegar over the potatoes. Season with pepper. Turn the potatoes to mix, then leave to cool completely.
3. Meanwhile, mix together the garlic, mayonnaise and yogurt in a small bowl until smooth.
4. When the potatoes are cool, add the cucumber, spring onions, dill and tarragon. Spoon on the mayonnaise and yogurt mixture, and stir gently to mix everything together. Serve at room temperature or chilled, garnished with dill and tarragon leaves.
