salad with (sweet) potatoes

Easy to make basic potato salad with a fatfree dressing made from lemon, honey or maple syrup and cilantro. If you hate cilantro, which I can’t imagine (I love it!), you can use parsley. Mix with arugula, tomatoes and cucumber.

Ingredients

Potatoes – peeled and in cubes (4 cups or 600 grams)
Leafy greens – I had 2½ cups arugula (75 grams), but you can also take spinach, lettuce, watercress or Swiss chard.
Tomatoes – I had cherry, but regular will do just fine.
Cucumber – I had mini but regular will do just fine.
Cilantro – I took one small bunch of fresh cilantro.
Garlic – One large or two smaller cloves for the dressing.
Lemon – Two, to juice for the dressing.
Honey or maple syrup (for vegan)
