Ingredients:

2 potatoes
430g
1/2 cup chickpeas
100g
1/3 cup red pepper
50g
2 tbsp onion
20g
3 mushrooms
55g
1 cup spinach
30g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1/2 tsp rosemary
0.35g
1/2 tbsp basil
2.65g
1/4 tsp ground cumin
3/4g
1/4 tsp paprika
0.52g
1 pinch red pepper (spice)
1.80g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- 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.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
- 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.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
- 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.
5. Incorporate Chickpeas and Spices:
- 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.
6. Combine Potatoes and Spinach:
- 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.
7. Season and Serve:
- 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.

And there you have it – a delicious warm potato salad that's not only easy to make but also packed with nutrients and flavor. This versatile dish can be enjoyed on its own or paired with your favorite protein for a more substantial meal. Give it a try, and savor the harmonious blend of spices and fresh ingredients.
