Potato salad with Sesame Dressing

By pattie_d

A nice change from traditional potato salad, this is particularly delicious with roast lamb or grilled chicken. Serves 8; can be doubled

Ingredients

• For the tahini dressing:
• 6 medium potatoes
• 4 scallions, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
• 2 tsp fresh spearmint leaves, roughly chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 3 Tbsp water
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Place in a sauce pan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are just cooked through, 10-12 minutes.

While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the ingredients for the tahini dressing.

Drain the potatoes, and toss them in a bowl with scallions, parsley, mint and the dressing. Let marinate in the refrigerator for several hours. Just before serving, toss again, and season with sea salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
