Servings 6 people

Dressing

•     3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
•     2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
•     4 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed

•     1 tsp Dijon mustard

•     ¼ cup parsley chopped

Instructions

Dressing

1.  Place all ingredients in a jar.  Shake well . Keep aside.

Salad

1.     Cut the potatoes, so they are about 2.5cm – 1″ pieces.
2.     Bring some water to the boil and add the salt.
3. Add the potatoes, bring back up to the boil then reduce to simmer.
4. Cook for 5 minutes or until just cooked. Don’t let them overcook or become too soft, as they will keep cooking from the residual heat.
5.     Drain and immediately transfer the potatoes to a bowl.
6.     While the potatoes are hot, gently mix them with half the dressing. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
7.     Add the green onions and parsley, and the remaining dressing. Carefully mix and serve.
