Perfect for any meal, this recipe combines the satisfying texture of potatoes and chickpeas with the vibrant taste of spinach, red pepper, and mushrooms.

Instructions:
- Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Dice the red bell pepper and finely chop the onion. Slice the mushrooms and roughly chop the spinach.
- Place the diced potatoes in a medium pot filled with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until they become translucent and fragrant.
4. Add Mushrooms and Red Pepper:
- Add the sliced mushrooms and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft.
- Add the chickpeas to the skillet along with the rosemary, basil, ground cumin, paprika, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Stir well to ensure the spices coat all the vegetables evenly.
- Gently fold in the cooked potatoes and the chopped spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and everything is heated through.
- Season the salad with salt and black pepper to taste. Give everything one last gentle stir to combine.
8. Serve Warm:
- Transfer the warm potato salad to a serving dish. Enjoy as a main dish or a side!
Tips:
- Cut the potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- For added flavor, try roasting the potatoes with the rosemary before mixing them into the salad.
- You can use canned chickpeas to save time, but make sure to rinse them thoroughly before using.
- Feel free to swap out the spinach with other leafy greens like arugula or kale for a different texture and taste.
- Adjust the spices according to your preference. If you like it spicier, increase the amount of red pepper or add a dash of chili flakes.
- If you prefer a creamier dressing, consider adding a spoonful of Greek yogurt or a dollop of mayonnaise.
