Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes.
- Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the chopped walnuts evenly on a baking sheet.
- Toast the walnuts in the oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, vinegar, mustard, and honey. Whisk together until smooth and well-blended.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the potatoes have cooled, add them to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Add the arugula and toasted walnuts to the bowl.
- Gently toss again until everything is evenly mixed and coated with the dressing.
- Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or platter.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for a couple of hours to let the flavors meld together before serving.
Tips:
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the salad as they hold their shape better after cooking.
- Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are aromatic and lightly browned.
- For a creamier texture, you can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- If you prefer a stronger flavor, add an extra tablespoon of mustard.
Follow these steps and tips, and you'll have a refreshing, flavorful potato and rocket salad with toasted walnuts that is sure to impress. Perfect for a light lunch, picnic, or as a side dish, this salad combines simple ingredients into a delectable dish that everyone will enjoy.
