Potato and Rocket Salad with Orange
Cuisine
Argentinian
Recipe Description
I love this simple, rustic salad, a crowd favourite I whip out at every family barbecue. Why it works: bitey rocket (arugula) and tangy orange offset the creaminess of the waxy spuds, while the scatter of toasted almonds adds a nutritious crunch.
Prep Time 5-10 Minutes
Cooking Time 40 Minutes
Difficulty Easy
Ingredient List
4 oranges
6 large boiling potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1-cm (½-in) thick
70 ml (2¼ fl oz) grape seed oil
200 g (7 oz) rocket (arugula)
100 g (3½ oz) almonds, toasted and chopped
Recipe Steps
First, peel the oranges. Segment the pieces of orange between the pith and set aside.
Get a large, heavy-duty cast-iron frying pan and put over a medium–low heat. Toss the potato slices in the oil and place them flat on the pan for about 8–10 minutes on each side. Be careful not to completely overcook, but you want the potato to get some colour. Set aside and allow to come to room temperature.
For the vinaigrette, blend all the ingredients until fine and well combined. Lay the potatoes neatly on a platter and then spoon over some of the vinaigrette. In a large bowl combine the orange and arugula and arrange over the potatoes. Drizzle more vinaigrette on top and then sprinkle over the almonds and serve.
