Vegan Warm Potato & Baby Spinach Salad

This colorful, zesty salad is a delicious light meal on its own but can be tucked into halved pita bread and served as a sandwich.  

  •  5-6 medium red potatoes
  •  1 teaspoon salt
  •  1 clove of garlic, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  •  2 cups baby spinach, stems removed
  •  4 sun-dried tomatoes, diced
  •  Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Prepare the dressing first.  Peel potatoes, cut in half, and place in large saucepan. Cover potatoes in water. Add a little salt, garlic and lemon juice to the water. Cover and bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer until barely done but tender.  While potatoes are cooking, take a small skillet and add ¼ cup of water and steam-fry the sun- dried tomatoes until tender. Remove from heat. Drain potatoes and cut into bite-size pieces and then toss with dressing. Stir in baby spinach and tomatoes. Add fresh pepper, taste for seasoning and serve warm.

  Dressing  

  • 2 tablespoons of canola or olive oil
  •   2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  •  ½ teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  •  2 tablespoons of capers
  •  1 tablespoon of fresh chives, chopped
  •  ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  •  2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
  •  ½ cup of a small red onion, diced

Combine all ingredients. The onions will marinate until ready to serve.
