Warm potato, pickle and spring onion salad

Serves: 8
Cooking Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

  • 10 potatoes, peeled
  • 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 pickled cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • salt and freshly ground black
  • pepper, to taste
  • 60ml (¼ cup) honey and mustard
  • vinaigrette
  • HOMEMADE MAYONNAISE
  • 2 large eggs
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 5ml (1 tsp) mustard
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) vinegar
  • 750ml sunflower oil

Instructions

1

Boil the potatoes in salted water until just done.

2

Cut the potatoes into wedges and place in a bowl with the spring onions, pickled cucumbers, seasoning, homemade mayonnaise and vinaigrette, and gently toss to combine all of the ingredients.

3

Adjust the seasoning and, if you like, add more mayonnaise.

4

To make the mayonnaise, blend the eggs, seasoning, mustard and vinegar together in a food processor for 1 minute.

5

With the food processor still running, slowly add the oil in a thin stream (and think happy thoughts; I have been told that is the key to mayonnaise success – just think happy thoughts; it works every time). 6 Serve the salad warm or at room temperature.
