Tips: Prepare a tasty spinach potato salad
Get ready to cook a portion of spinach potato salad with our helpful tips below.
Choosing and chopping fresh herbs
Select fresh parsley and dill to add herby brightness to your spinach potato salad. Chop these herbs before adding them to the salad to release their essential oils and intensify the flavours.
Achieving evenly cooked potatoes
Select potatoes of similar size and cut them evenly to ensure they cook uniformly. This prevents some from being undercooked or overcooked, which is crucial for the salad’s perfect texture.
Try a fresh and green spinach potato salad
Spinach potato salad is a popular spring dish because of its refreshing nature, but we believe that a good potato salad should be enjoyed all year round. Our version combines new potatoes with vibrant spinach and white cheese with sun-dried tomatoes. Bring it to a picnic in the park or prepare it as a side for a larger meal with friends and family.
With new potatoes, vibrant spinach, and white cheese with sun-dried tomatoes
New potatoes make the salad stand out. Their skin is known for its subtle bite, while the insides remain tender and smooth. As with most potatoes, they have a mild, earthy flavour, but these nuanced flavours work wonderfully with fresh spinach. The white cheese with sun-dried tomatoes also hides a slight tang that imbues the salad with a bit of depth.
Dressed with a tangy vinaigrette with herbs
The dressing that coats the salad is a tangy vinaigrette infused with herbs. It is simple and easy to prepare – but it also packs a flavour punch. Olive oil and cider vinegar form its rich, tangy base. In comes the fresh dill and parsley, which introduce a vibrant green colour alongside a refreshing aroma. The finely chopped spring onions embrace the sharpness, turning the vinaigrette into an incredibly delightful dressing that complements the earthy potatoes and spinach with its distinct sharpness.
The perfect side dish
While our spinach potato salad works wonderfully as an easy lunch on its own, it truly shines when paired with other dishes as part of a larger meal. Consider pairing the potato salad with grilled meats or roasted fish of your choice. Its freshness perfectly complements the savoury and smoky notes of dishes like grilled steak, lamb, and chicken. Pack it for a picnic or outdoor grilling and enjoy it with the whole family.
Are you looking for more tasty side dishes? We have a large selection that can make the perfect addition to a family dinner. Consider trying delicious loaded sweet potato fries, an easy pearl couscous salad, or asparagus with white cheese.
Make the dish your own
Our recipe for spinach potato salad can easily be personalised to your liking. For instance, add black or green olives or roasted red sweet peppers. Their deep, savoury flavour adds a slightly Mediterranean touch to the potato salad. You can also introduce an extra level of crunch by including toasted pine nuts or walnuts.
Trying out different herbs with the vinaigrette. Basil brings a sweet, peppery flavour, and mint adds a cool freshness that goes well with the tangy white cheese. For those who enjoy a bit more heat, a pinch of chilli flakes or a drizzle of spicy olive oil can add a pleasant kick.
