Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb potatoes
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 large tomato
  • ½ cup pickled cucumbers
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the 1.5 lb potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then slice into rounds.

  2. 2

    While potatoes cook, thinly slice the 1 red onion and cut the 1 tomato into wedges. Toss the 4 cups mixed greens with the onion and tomato in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp olive oil with 1 tbsp red wine vinegar (or lemon juice) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the sliced potatoes and 0.5 cup pickled cucumbers to the greens.

  4. 4

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately, garnished with extra pickles or fresh herbs if you like.
