Spanish Potato & Tomato Salad | HEALTHY and Delicious Recipe

This Spanish Potato & Tomato Salad, known as Ensalada de Patatas y Tomate, is filled with honest & clean flavors, easy to make and done in just 30 minutes. Serve it at room temperature or even add into the fridge and serve chilled.

To make this recipe I used new potatoes. Important to use potatoes that are a bit more waxy than starchy. As they hold their shape better when being boiled. You can also use yukon gold, golden delight or even red potatoes.

What really flavors this salad is the vinaigrette. Made with just garlic, parsley, olive oil and sherry vinegar. You can use other types of vinegar if you like. However, by using sherry, is what gives this salad that lift of Spanish goodness.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: I boiled the potatoes for exactly 15 minutes to end up with perfectly boiled potatoes. Of course every pan and stove top heats differently. Either way, you want the potatoes a bit al dente, which also helps in keeping their shape.

3. In the meantime, make the vinaigrette, add the cloves of garlic (roughly chopped) into a mortar, along with the parsley and a pinch of sea salt, using a pestle pound down on the ingredients until you form a paste-like texture, then add in the olive oil, sherry vinegar and season with a kiss of sea salt & black pepper, mix together until well mixed and set aside

4. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, add them over a serving dish, all in a single layer, cut the tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick rounds (.635 cm) and place them over the potatoes, season with sea salt & black pepper, then evenly spread the vinaigrette over the salad, serve at room temperature or chilled, enjoy!
