Ingredients
Lime Dressing
- 1 Lemon juiced
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 5-6 Peppercorns black, freshly crushed
- 1-2 Chilies adjust to taste, finely chopped, green
- 1 tbsp Coriander chopped
Garnish
- 1/4 cup Peanuts roasted, skin removed
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and let cool slightly before peeling and cubing.
- Dice the tomato and onion. Combine the potatoes, tomato, and onion in a large bowl.
Prepare the Lime Dressing
- Juice the lemon into a small bowl. Add salt and freshly crushed black pepper. Freshly crushed pepper provides a brighter, more intense flavor.
- Add the chopped cilantro and finely chopped green chilies to the lemon juice mixture. Adjust the amount of chilies to your preferred level of spice.
- For a more intense flavor, allow the dressing to sit for a few hours to let the flavors meld. This allows the lime juice to infuse the chilies and cilantro.
Assemble the Salad
- If your peanuts aren't already roasted, dry roast them in a pan until fragrant and the skins begin to loosen. Remove the skins.
- Pour the lime dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently to coat. Add the roasted peanuts just before serving to maintain their crunch.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For best flavour, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and freshly crushed black pepper.
- You can prepare the dressing ahead of time and refrigerate it. Add to the salad just before serving.
- Adjust the quantity of green chillies based on your spice preference. For a milder version, you can deseed the chillies.
- Other crunchy elements like roasted seeds (sunflower, pumpkin) or sev can also be added for variation.
Expert Tips
- To prevent your salad from becoming soggy, add the dressing just before serving.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of toasted nuts or crumbled feta cheese.
- Massaging the greens with a little olive oil before adding the other ingredients can help tenderize them and enhance their flavor.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the salad may become slightly softer over time.
