ARMENIAN-STYLE POTATO SALAD



Armenian-Style Potato Salad image

Potato salad is the first food I remember eating, so I really do have a deep emotional attachment, but every so often, I crave something completely different-and this Armenian-style potato salad is completely different. And completely delicious. And, unlike American-style, completely safe left on a sunny picnic table for hours. Serve drizzled with more olive oil and garnished with more fresh mint.

Categories     No Mayo Potato Salad

Time 3h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, quartered, and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon kosher salt, or more to taste
1 tablespoon dried mint, divided
½ cup mild olive oil, divided
1 large red onion, diced
½ cup diced red bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup lemon juice, or more to taste
½ cup thinly sliced green onions
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon Aleppo chili flakes
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Transfer sliced potatoes into a large pot with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by a couple of inches. Stir in 1 rounded tablespoon kosher salt and 2 ½ teaspoons dried mint. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and let cook until tender, about 15 minutes, checking every 5 to 6 minutes for doneness. Drain well.
  • Transfer cooked potatoes to a large mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
  • While potatoes cool, heat ¼ cup olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add red onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir for just 1 minute. Turn off the heat and stir in remaining dried mint.
  • Drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice into potatoes and toss gently with a spatula. Add green onions, red onion mixture, remaining olive oil, fresh mint, fresh parsley, salt to taste, black pepper, chili flakes, and cayenne. Mix with a spatula until combined.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled and flavors have melded, 3 to 4 hours.
  • Unwrap; stir, taste, and adjust seasonings as needed to personal tastes. The salad almost always needs more salt stirred in once it's tasted after being chilled. Serve.

PARSLEY AND ONION SALAD



Parsley and Onion Salad image

This is a typical Middle Eastern salad that goes great with grilled meats. The onions are pre-soaked to take away the bite, but if you have sweet onions on hand, you can skip this step. I love the flavor of sumac, and it really adds something to this dish.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe ingredients. If your parsley is a bit wilted, soak it in cold water for a few minutes to revive it.
  • If you don't have pomegranate molasses, you can make your own by simmering pomegranate juice with sugar and lemon juice until it thickens. Or, you can substitute balsamic vinegar or another sweet and tangy vinegar.
  • To make the dressing ahead of time, simply whisk together the ingredients and store it in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to use it, just shake it up and pour it over the salad.
  • This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. Simply add them to the salad along with the parsley, red onion, and pomegranate seeds.
  • For a more substantial salad, add some grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.

Conclusion:

Parsley, red onion, and pomegranate salad is a refreshing, flavorful salad that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try.
