Tips: Improve your new potato salad
Before you get started on this new potato salad, we recommend you read our tips below. That way, you should have no problem making this salad.
Choosing the ideal potatoes
For the best texture and flavour, go for waxy potatoes like Jersey Royals or Charlotte potatoes. These hold their shape well during cooking and remain firm. Choose potatoes of the same size to cook evenly.
Keeping the new potato salad fresh and tasty
For the freshest taste, store your new potato salad in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy it within 1–2 days. If it includes salad leaves, eat it the same day to avoid wilting. Although you can refrigerate this dish, it tastes best when served right after you make it.
Make a crisp new potato salad
New potatoes are known for their very tender and flaky skin, which is precisely why we have created this incredibly crisp potato salad. The small potatoes cook quickly and are mixed with fresh vegetables, pickled onions, and a refreshing lemon-mustard dressing. While potato salads are popular in the spring and summer, we believe they deserve to be enjoyed all year round. And with our recipe, you can do just that!
Filled with fresh snap peas and asparagus
By adding fresh green vegetables to the new potato salad, it gets a lovely and lively boost in texture and colours. Snap peas and green asparagus spears are wonderful choices for embracing the crisp nature of the dish. While the snap peas add a satisfying crunch and slight sweetness, the asparagus provides a subtle, earthy flavour. The asparagus spears are briefly blanched, allowing them to turn extra crisp and extra vibrant. Their gorgeous green colours imbue the new potato salad with a stunning look.
Tangy and zesty flavours from pickled onions, white cheese, and dressing
From sweet and earthy to tangy and bright, all the ingredients are chosen carefully to create a delicious new potato salad. We enhance the taste with pickled onions, which introduce a sharp acidity and lend a striking red hue, transforming an ordinary salad into something spectacular. Toss it with a lemon-mustard dressing to enjoy the lively, zesty flavours. The final flourish is a topping of creamy white cheese encrusted with herbs and spices, adding a delightful flavour boost.
Simple lunch salad or easy side dish
This new potato salad is simple to prepare and flexible enough for you to cook for pretty much any occasion. It works perfectly as a light lunch with bright flavours, but you can also cook a large portion and serve it alongside grilled meats of your choice. Grilled chicken or lamb are particularly great options. They are full of rich, savoury juices that complement the lively salad flavours.
We have plenty of delicious and easy salad recipes to choose from, so dive in and find your next favourites. Perhaps this pearl couscous salad or a grilled salmon salad? For a hearty side you can also opt for roasted winter vegetables or roast pumpkin with white cheese.
Tailor the dish to your taste
Personalise your new potato salad with extra flavour to make it a standout dish. Fresh herbs such as chives, dill, or parsley add a burst of flavour and colour. Experiment with dressings to transform your salad. Try a rich, creamy mayonnaise-based dressing or a tangy vinaigrette with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar to complement the new potatoes. You can also add roasted garlic or caramelised onions to deepen the sweetness and balance the dressing’s acidity. Toasted nuts or seeds like pine nuts or pumpkin seeds introduce a satisfying crunch and nuttiness. For a smoky flavour, lightly char the asparagus spears or snap peas before adding them to the salad.
