Ingredients
Za’atar Vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 pinch salt
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 teaspoons za’atar
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
For the Salad
- 1 lb baby new potatoes
- 4 radishes, sliced
- 1 carrot, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon red onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons mint leaves, chopped
- 4 cups greens
Instructions
- To make the Za’atar Vinaigrette, add all the dressing ingredients to a mason jar. Seal tightly with a lid and shake vigorously until all the ingredients are well-incorporated. Store refrigerated in a sealed container. Will last up to 1 week if kept refrigerated.
- Bring a medium sauce filled about halfway with water to a boil. Add the whole baby potatoes to the water and turn down the heat to medium low, and then simmer the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes. Try them to make sure they are tender in the center, but not over cooked. Rinse the potatoes and place them in a colander. Run cold water over the potatoes to stop the cooking process and make them easier to handle.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them all in half and place in a mixing bowl. Add the sliced radishes, carrots, onions, mint leaves and greens. Add as much of the Za’atar Vinaigrette as desired, Toss well and serve immediately
