Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 30 grams Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes. Place them in a medium-sized pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 2
While the potatoes cook, wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set them aside.
Step 3
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and set it aside as well.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic clove, salt, and ground black pepper to create the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over the ingredients and toss gently to ensure everything is well coated.
Step 7
Serve the salad immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to chill before serving. Enjoy!
