Potato salads are one of the preferred side dishes, especially with grilled fish and meat. You can reach different flavors with the sauces you prepare according to your taste. In this recipe, our salad is prepared with a sauce based on tangerine juice, olive oil and mustard, and unlike classic recipes, it does not contain mayonnaise. Therefore, it offers a fresh and light taste alternative. Enjoy your meal!
Wash the potatoes by scrubbing them to remove soil. Without peeling the shells, boil them in plenty of water until they become soft.
Check whether it is cooked with a sharp knife or toothpick. Be careful not to boil it too much and break it apart.
You can easily peel cooked potatoes under running water while they are hot. Chop the peeled potatoes into cubes.
Before the potatoes get too cold and are still warm, pour freshly squeezed tangerine juice over them. Potatoes will absorb the tangerine flavor and juice with its neutral and absorbent properties.
Add salt and black pepper and cover the blended potatoes with stretch film and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile, for the sauce, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and mustard in a saucepan. Season with salt and pepper.
Finely chop the fresh greens, spring onions and gherkins.
Take the potatoes out of the fridge. First add the sauce and mix. If possible, leave it in the refrigerator with the sauce for about 1 more hour. Mix it with fresh greens when serving.
If you wish, you can add capers, mayonnaise, green olives and canned corn to your salad before serving. Serve the salad mixture cold as a garnish or in serving bowls, drizzle lightly with olive oil. Enjoy your meal!
