Ingredients
1 -2 medium or 1 large potato (Grandma used Russet- I use yellow potatoes- those tend to be smaller which is why I use 2)
1 &1/2 tablespoon Olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
1-2 cloves of garlic
1 cucumber
1-2 tomatoes
4 leaves of Romaine lettuce or any green leafy lettuce (Grandma used iceberg lettuce and it tastes really good in this salad but doesn’t have a lot of nutritional value)
2 pinches of fresh parsley chopped
1 pinch of fresh mint chopped
1 pinch of fresh oregano
A few celery leaves
Salt to taste
Instructions
1. Chop potatoes into 1 inch pieces and boil until soft (but not mushy)
2. Chop the garlic well and then mash the salt and garlic together with a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon.
3. Add the juice of 2 lemons (about 2-3 T of lemon juice) to the garlic and salt mixture
4. Pour the lemon/garlic mixture over the potatoes
5. Dice the onion and add to the potato mixture- mix again.
6. Chop the parsley, oregano, mint, and celery leaf - and add to the onion and potato mixture- MIX WELL and put in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours - stir the mixture about once an hour.
You should complete the next few steps just before you want to serve the salad
8. Cut up you lettuce into small bite size pieces.
9. Peel and chop your cucumber
10. Chop two tomatoes into bite size pieces- I always remove the seeds from the tomatoes when I chop them.
11. Add the tomato, cucumber lettuce mixture to the potato mixture.
12. Add 1-2 Tbs of Olive oil onto you completed salad and mix well.
13. Garnish with chopped mint (just a little bit- about 1-2 teaspoons) and serve!
Notes and Adjustments!
I recommend you watch my short cooking tutorial on YouTube for this recipe as it will make the directions more clear. This is a great summer salad and if you add garbanzo beans it can be a full summer meal- Enjoy!
