Potato salad with arugula and edamame, is once another variation of the classic potato salad. The other day I saw them, these beautiful new potatoes in the organic supermarket and felt like making a potato salad. Classic potato salads are available in all sorts of variations and I wanted to do something different. Creamy it may be, with fine edamame and arugula. I find the combination just gorgeous and could literally lie down in it. I can imagine this salad also really good with grilled food, as a fine side dish to an oyster mushroom steak? A dream
Potato salad with arugula and edamame
This fine salad is quick and easy to make, at least when the potatoes are eventually cooked. Currently I like to make them in the steamer, or else in the pressure cooker. The latter is, of course, much faster than in a steamer or classically in a pot on the stove. Sometimes I boil the potatoes a day ahead, let them cool completely, and don’t process them until the next day.
TIP: Allowing potatoes to cool completely after cooking also has a health benefit, as it creates so-called resistant starch, which is wonderful food for our good gut bacteria.
Let’s get back to the salad, for which we need the above potatoes, arugula and edamame. Add to this a fine, creamy dressing of cashews, water, dill, salt, pepper, garlic granules, mustard, lemon juice and maple syrup. This is all mixed into a fine, creamy dressing. Season once and you’re done.
How healthy are actually potatoes?
Potatoes are a wonderful, low-calorie food. why? I’ll tell you here:
- consist of 80% water (very low in calories)
- form healthy resistant starch during cooling
- rich in high-quality protein, potassium, B vitamins and vitamin C
- contain flavonoids and anthocyanins (valuable secondary plant compounds)
Organic or conventional potatoes? I have a clear opinion here and always buy organic quality! why? Organic farmers do not use synthetic mineral fertilizers and thus the finished potatoes do not contain residues of synthetic pesticides or fungicides, which are anything but healthy. So if you don’t necessarily have to watch your wallet, organic quality is definitely a better and healthier choice.
If you’re not in the mood for potatoes today, but want a different salad, I have the following suggestions for you:
- Beet millet salad
- Spicy eggplant salad
- Sweet potato salad with harissa
