Potato Salad is one of my all time favorite dishes. It feels like a treat to me. It is so comforting I can’t get enough. I love making different versions of it and add unexpected flavors. This “Roasted Potato and Poblano Salad” is a clear example of it. I roasted the potatoes to give this salad an extra depth of flavor. It is incredibly delicious with flavors you won’t expect.
I have roasted, peeled and sliced my own poblano peppers like a million times before, they are delicious but it’s hard work. I recently found out about canned sliced poblano peppers and I just have to give them a try! They are so convenient and pretty tasty but I have to say this, they are milder in taste than fresh poblano peppers. If you are intimidated by the roasting process of poblano peppers or if you are afraid you might get an angry pepper (it does happen) then this is for you. Get these!
The star of this salad (sorry potatoes) is the dressing. A mix of lemon and mayo infused with tons of cilantro and green onions. It’s fresh, fragrant, zingy and delicious!
This is a #paleo friendly and #whole30 compliant recipe.
