INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound Baby gold or red potatoes, sliced thick or just halved
- 3-4 cups Arugula, (ruccola), washed and dried
- ¼ cup chives or green onions, diced
- ½ cup cashew basil pesto, or similar green pesto
- 2 Small cucumber, sliced
- 5-8 medium radishes, sliced thin
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil
- Lemon juice to taste
- Salt
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut them in at least 1 inch thick slices or the very small ones just in half. Place potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil and drizzle with olive oil and seasonings.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes. Insert a knife into one potato to see if it’s done. It should slide out easily.
- Meanwhile prepare arugula in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and massage the leaves gently. Transfer onto serving platter.
- Let warm potatoes cool down a little (but not cold) and transfer them into a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients: chives, pesto, more salt and pepper if needed, lemon juice, radishes and cucumbers. Mix thoroughly and arrange on a serving platter on top of arugula. Serve while the potatoes are still warm with lemon zest, lemon slices and more pesto.
- This salad can be served both, cold and warm. Potatoes will soak up more pesto flavor while still warm which is exactly what we want here.
