Seasonal Salads ~ New Potato & Radish Salad with an Anchovy Dressing

Salads don’t have to be boring, bland or unsatisfying. They can be packed full of delicious flavour and keep you full and satisfied.

They are also a perfect vessel for showcasing seasonal produce.

New potatoes, radishes, lettuce leaves ~ all at their peak at this time of year. Here I’ve paired them with crunchy vinegary pickles, and a gorgeous salty, punchy dressing with anchovies , lemon, and mustard dressing.

Serves 3-4 (dependant on portion size)

750g of new potatoes (or one small bag)
