Ingredients

• 500 grams baby potatoes
• 2 medium ripe avocados
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Bring the pot to a boil and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooling, peel and dice the avocados into bite-sized chunks. Place the diced avocados in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Finely chop the red onion and parsley, then add them to the bowl with the avocados.

Step 5

Once the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size. Add them to the bowl with the avocado mixture.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the potato and avocado mixture, tossing gently to coat everything evenly. Be careful not to mash the avocados.

Step 8

Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Serve at room temperature or chilled. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
