Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired.
- Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
- Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
- Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool to room temperature.
- Dice the avocado into small cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Cut the tomato into small pieces and add them to the avocado.
- Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl.
- Coarsely chop the coriander leaves and add them to the bowl.
- Remove the seeds from the red hot chili peppers if you prefer a milder heat, then finely chop the peppers. Add the chopped chili peppers to the bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil and lime juice until well combined.
- Add the cooled potatoes to the mixing bowl with the salsa ingredients.
- Drizzle the olive oil and lime juice dressing over the salad.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure they are well combined and coated with the dressing.
- Lightly spray the salad with a short burst of cooking spray oil to enhance the texture.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
- Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Transfer the Mexican Potato and Salsa Salad to a serving dish.
- Garnish with additional coriander leaves if desired.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for better texture.
- To make the salad more visually appealing, try using a mix of different colored tomatoes.
- Cool the potatoes completely before mixing in other ingredients to avoid making the avocado mushy.
- Add the lime juice to the avocado immediately after cutting to prevent it from browning.
- For a milder version, use fewer chili peppers or de-seed them before adding to the salad.
- Experiment with additional ingredients like corn, black beans, or diced bell peppers for more variety.
- Let the salad chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish with extra coriander leaves for an added burst of freshness and color.
