How To Make A Baby Potato Salad with Herby Crème Fraîche:
Preparation time: 15 minutes | Cooking time: 10 minutes | Total time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 500g baby new potatoes, scrubbed
- 300g green beans, trimmed
- 6 salad onions, finely chopped
- ½ x 20g pack fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
- ½ x 20g pack fresh mint, finely chopped

How To Make:
This recipe is wonderfully versatile too. Serve it alongside grilled fish or chicken, pair it with quiches and summery tarts, or let it shine as the star of a simple lunch.
- Place the potatoes in a large pan of cold water and bring to the boil. Cook for 10 minutes, adding the green beans for the last 5 minutes or until both are tender. Drain the vegetables and set aside to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, mix the salad onions and chopped parsley and mint with the crème fraîche. Add the potatoes and beans and toss gently to combine.
- Season to taste and serve, topped with the Greek basil and drizzled with the avocado oil.
A squeeze of lemon and a hint of seasoning bring the whole dish to life, creating a salad that tastes as good cold as it does slightly warm.
Cook’s Tips:
- This is best served at room temperature rather than straight from the fridge.
- If packing up for a picnic, add the avocado oil just before serving.
