Smoked salmon and potato salad

Smoked salmon and potato salad is a delightful and nutritious dish that combines the rich, savory flavor of smoked salmon with the hearty texture of potatoes and the fresh, peppery taste of arugula. It's perfect for a light lunch or as a side dish for dinner, offering a balance of protein, vegetables, and healthy fats.

Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1000g
4 cups arugula
80g
1 onion
110g
1/2 cup capers
90g
8 oz salmon
230g
1/3 cup caesar salad dressing
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with water, and add a pinch of salt.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes).
2. Cook and Cool the Potatoes:
- Once the potatoes are done, drain them in a colander.
- Allow them to cool completely to room temperature. You can speed up the cooling process by spreading them out on a baking sheet.
3. Prepare the Onion:
- Peel the onion and finely chop it.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped onion, and capers.
5. Add the Dressing:
- Drizzle the Caesar salad dressing over the potato mixture.
- Gently toss the ingredients until the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing.
6. Add the Arugula and Salmon:
- Gently stir in the arugula.
- Tear the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and add them to the salad.
- Gently toss everything together until well combined.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours if you prefer it chilled.

Tips:

- Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for the best texture as they hold their shape well when cooked.

- You can enhance the flavor of the salad by lightly toasting the capers before adding them.

- If you prefer a lighter dressing, substitute the caesar salad dressing with a vinaigrette made from olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.

- Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before mixing them with the other ingredients to prevent the arugula from wilting.

- Feel free to add other fresh vegetables like cherry tomatoes or cucumber for extra color and crunch.

This smoked salmon and potato salad is a versatile and satisfying dish that's sure to impress. With the perfect mix of savory salmon, fresh greens, and tangy capers, it's a surefire way to elevate your meal. Enjoy this nutritious and flavorful salad, whether you're preparing it for a casual lunch or a special dinner occasion.
