How about some red, white, and blue potato salad? Blue/purple hued potatoes look quite “exotic” for sure, but taste pretty much like regular potatoes. These colorful potatoes pack a big nutritional punch by providing carotenoids, and antioxidants like “anthocyanin” that is also found in berries and pomegranets. This potato is also very resistant to disease and are also able to withstand harsh conditions. Here is a delicious and simple potato salad recipe that will sure to be the hit of the July 4th party that you bring it to! ENJOY!
2 pounds baby potatoes, a mix of white and blue (or purple)
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2-1 tsp Sea salt (I love Redmonds Real Salt)
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3/4 cup chopped roasted red peppers, rinsed
5 scallions, thinly sliced
1 large clove of garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1.Place potatoes in a large saucepan or Dutch oven and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Transfer to a cutting board. Let cool for 20 minutes.
2.Whisk lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper and garlic in a large bowl. Cut the potatoes in half, add to the bowl and toss to coat.
3.Just before serving, add peppers, scallions and parsley to the salad and toss gently.
