SALAD OF BOILED POTATOES, AVOCADO AND CRESS



Salad of Boiled Potatoes, Avocado and Cress image

I had to do this salad, even though cress must be one of the tackiest things in the world. For some reason I'm absolutely addicted to it and love it to bits. This is my favorite combination.

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pound scrubbed new waxy potatoes
1 large ripe avocado
3 bunches of cress, water or pepper, washed
Olive oil
1 to 2 lemons, juiced
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the new potatoes in salted boiling water until very tender, then drain. Slice the avocado in half and remove the stone. Peel and slice it lengthways into thick slices or chunks (however you really like) and place in a bowl. Slice any large potatoes in half--this will expose their flesh to the olive oil and lemon juice. If they are small, leave them whole. Add to the bowl. Throw the cress in, then add a couple of good lugs (tablespoons) of olive oil and lemon juice, to taste. Season and toss. Serve on a big plate, scattered with any remaining cress. This is brilliant with chicken, fish or as a salad on its own, especially in the summer.;

AVOCADO POTATO SALAD



Avocado Potato Salad image

I got this potato salad recipe from a friend who got it from an adapted recipe from the California Avocado Commission. It's a wonderful recipe, that is lighter because the wonderful tangy dressing substitutes for mayo in most salads such as this. Lots of wonderful flavors, textures, and colors! You may serve this at room temperature, but it is best covered tightly and chilled for 1 to 3 hrs before serving. Can be prepared up to three hours in advance before serving.
