I’m Loving these Peruvian Purple Potatoes!


Beyond an exceptional dose of antioxidants – they are sweet and the deep-purple color can brighten anyone’s day! I steam them whole, peel when cool and cube them.

Mixing them with cracked, pitted olives and streaming on some Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette – the salad takes on a very Moroccan-vibe. Adding some extra thin-cut preserved lemons adds another tangy element!

A Great Portable Salad!

Lemon & Olive Oil based without mayonnaise so you can successfully transport it to a picnic or outing.
