Ingredients
1.5 pounds gold potatoes, quartered (skin-on)
2 green onions, chopped
1 cucumber, chopped
⅓ cup salted shelled pistachios, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
¼ cup mayonnaise (regular or vegan)
2 tablespoons brown mustard or Dijon mustard
3 garlic cloves, minced or grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave syrup
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the quartered potatoes on a greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roast for 35–40 minutes, or until golden brown and tender on the inside.
- While the potatoes are roasting, combine the chopped green onions, cucumber, pistachios, dill, and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Stir everything together and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, maple syrup (or agave syrup), salt, pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) until smooth.
- Once the potatoes are done, let them cool for a few minutes. Toss the warm potatoes with the prepared dressing. Then, pour the chopped veggies over the salad and gently mix until everything is well combined.
- Serve the salad immediately while it’s warm, or chill it in the refrigerator for a cold version.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can use yellow or red potatoes instead of gold potatoes.
If you’re not a fan of pistachios, substitute with roasted almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds for crunch.
Add fresh herbs like thyme or tarragon instead of dill for a unique twist.
