Ingredients

  • 6 cups baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup other fresh herbs of choice (dill, basil, oregano)
  • 2 large handfuls of leafy greens (mixed greens, arugula or spinach)

Cashew Dressing

  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 clove garlic

Instructions

  • Add the cashews in a bowl with boiling water. Let sit 30 minutes or more. Alternatively, you can soak them in cold water overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Place the chopped potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Spread them in a single layer and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, blend all the dressing ingredients in a high-speed blender, including the soaked cashews.
  • Add the leafy greens and herbs to a large bowl. Serve with the roasted potatoes and dressing.

Notes

This salad is best served immediately, but is still good served cold.
If your blender is on the weaker side, I recommend going for the overnight soak, or soaking them longer in the boiling water.
