Best 3 Okra And Potato Salad Recipes

ROASTED POTATO AND OKRA SALAD

Steps:

• Roast potatoes and okra:
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
• Halve potatoes lengthwise and toss with scallion pieces, rosemary sprigs, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spread potato mixture in a large roasting pan and roast, stirring once, 20 minutes. Stir potatoes and add okra to pan, tossing to coat. Continue to roast until okra and potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes more.
• Cook beans and corn while potatoes roast:
• Cook beans in 1 quart (unsalted) boiling water in a 3- to 4-quart pot 3 minutes, then immediately transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Gently peel off skins.
• Return water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon salt, then cook corn until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain corn in a sieve and immediately transfer to bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain corn again.
• Make dressing and assemble salad:
• Whisk together lemon juice, shallot, chopped rosemary, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until combined. Discard rosemary sprigs, then add hot potatoes and okra to dressing along with beans, corn, and salt to taste, tossing to combine. Cool salad to warm before serving.

OKRA AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Mix together lemon juice and vinegar in a small bowl.
• Steam potatoes above 1 inch water for 10 minutes, until tender enough to easily pierce with the tip of a knife. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice-vinegar mix.
• Trim away okra stems, just above the line where the stem cap joins the okra spear. Place in steamer, cover and steam 4 minutes. Drain and rinse briefly with cold water, then drain on a dish towel.
• Slice okra about 1/3- to 1/2-inch thick and add to bowl with potatoes. Add serrano and shallot. Season generously with salt and pepper, and toss together.
• Whisk garlic, yogurt and olive oil into remaining lemon juice-vinegar mix. Toss with the okra and potatoes. Add parsley and toss again. Garnish with crumbled feta if desired, and serve.

FRIED OKRA AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a steamer set over boiling water steam the potatoes, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are just tender, transfer them to a bowl, and let them cool to room temperature. In another bowl toss the okra with the cornmeal and salt and pepper to taste, transfer the mixture to a sieve, and shake off the excess cornmeal. In a deep skillet heat 1 inch of the oil to 375°F., in it fry the okra, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until it is golden, and transfer it to paper towels to drain. In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, the honey, the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon water, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the dressing to the potatoes with the okra and the tomato and combine the salad well.
