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.

POTATO AND WATERCRESS SALAD



Potato and Watercress Salad image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     weekday, salads and dressings

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds small red potatoes
2 bunches watercress
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1/3 cup peanut oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Remove and discard eyes and any damaged parts of potatoes, but do not peel them. Rinse well under cold water, place in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil over high heat; then, reduce heat to medium. Boil gently until potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Drain any water from the potatoes, and spread them out in a gratin dish to cool. When cool enough to handle, cut the unpeeled potatoes into 1/2-inch slices. Spread the slices out in a single layer, so they are less likely to break, in the gratin dish.
  • Trim the watercress stems, removing about 2 inches, and set the trimmings aside for a soup, perhaps. Wash the trimmed watercress and dry thoroughly. There should be about 4 cups.
  • Mix the remaining ingredients together in a bowl large enough to hold the finished salad. Do not worry if these dressing ingredients separate. The mixture should not be emulsified.
  • At serving time, add the potatoes and watercress to the dressing in the bowl, and toss lightly but thoroughly. Serve immediately, as the watercress tends to wilt quickly once it is combined with the dressing.

POTATO SALAD WITH CELERY, CRESS, AND BACON



Potato Salad with Celery, Cress, and Bacon image

Assembling this potato salad while the potatoes are still warm is key. They'll absorb more flavor from the vinegar and oil, and the heat will also slightly wilt the celery and watercress.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds small fingerling potatoes
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 strips thick-cut bacon (about 6 ounces)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 cup thinly sliced celery (2 stalks)
1 cup celery leaves
2 cups watercress, large stems trimmed

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a medium pot; cover with 2 inches water. Season water generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook potatoes until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain. When just cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise.
  • Meanwhile, cook bacon over medium heat until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Break into bite-size pieces.
  • Transfer potatoes to a large bowl; gently toss with oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper; fold in celery and leaves, watercress, and bacon. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Use ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch. Hard avocados will not be creamy and flavorful.
  • Chop the cress finely. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the salad.
  • Use a light vinaigrette dressing to avoid overpowering the delicate flavors of the potatoes, avocado, and cress.
  • Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the potatoes from becoming waterlogged.

Conclusion:

This simple and refreshing salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. The combination of creamy avocado, crunchy cress, and tangy vinaigrette is sure to please everyone at the table. Try experimenting with different types of potatoes, such as red potatoes or sweet potatoes. You can also add other vegetables to the salad, such as chopped carrots, celery, or cucumbers.
