I wanted to make a potato salad but not a traditional one. I am not a fan of the mustard-based potato salad so, I came up with this recipe. My son and I really liked it- my husband, not so much. He likes the yellow potato salad and wasn't very excited about eating this green potato salad I set before him.
I am posting this at Side Dish Showdown at Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice. Side dishes have always been a challenge for me. I have very little creativity when it comes to side dishes and usually all of my attention goes to the protein part of my meals. This monthly challenge has forced me to think about this important part of the meals we eat. At least I am creating one good side dish a month.
I found the dressing recipe at For the Love of Cooking and just added to my ingredients.
Ingredients:
3 lbs of red potatoes, diced in large chunks and steamed
1 onion, yellow or purple
2 large poblano peppers
2 jalepeno peppers
1/4 cup of sliced green onions
1/2 cup of chopped cilantro
1/4 cup olive or canola oil
1-2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar OR red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 tsp oregano
For the dressing, whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside while you prepare the rest of the salad.
The salad can be eaten cold or at room temperature.
