When it comes to salads, the possibilities are endless. You can choose from a variety of ingredients, dressings, and toppings to create a dish that is both delicious and nutritious. One of our favorites is potato pepper and arugula salad. This salad is packed with flavor and texture, and it's easy to make. The potatoes provide a hearty base for the salad, while the peppers add a bit of sweetness and heat. The arugula adds a peppery flavor and a bit of bitterness, which balances out the sweetness of the peppers. The dressing is a simple vinaigrette, made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. It's light and tangy, and it helps to bring all of the flavors of the salad together.

Here are our top 8 tried and tested recipes!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1½ lb. baby potatoes, quartered
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp dried rosemary
½ tsp ground sweet paprika
½ tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 cups (packed) baby arugula
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano), freshly grated, to taste (I used 1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • For the potatoes. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine together the potatoes, garlic, dried rosemary, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until the potatoes are well-coated.
  • On a large baking sheet (lined with parchment paper for easy clean-up), spread the potatoes in a single layer and roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • For the salad. As the potatoes roast, place the arugula in a large bowl and top with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine and then set aside.
  • Put it together. Plate the arugula on a large platter or plate and top with the roasted potatoes. Then grate a generous amount of parmesan cheese over the dish. Best served immediately.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound small red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt
12 ounces green beans, trimmed
1 cup assorted cherry tomatoes, halved
5 ounces baby arugula (about 6 cups)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Freshly ground pepper
Pinch of red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle boil and cook until fork-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon to a large bowl, leaving the water in the pot.

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the red pepper flakes and remaining garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the shrimp, sprinkle with the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Toss the remaining arugula, 1 tablespoon olive oil and the lemon juice in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Divide the arugula among shallow bowls and top with the vegetables and shrimp.

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.
