Looking for a quick and tasty recipe for a light lunch or dinner? The potato salad with salmon is the perfect choice! This recipe combines the creamy texture of potatoes with the flavor of salmon, and the dressing with vinegar and capers adds a touch of freshness. Let's get started!

Ingredients:
- 600 g potatoes
- 200 g smoked or fresh salmon
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Preparation:

1. Preparing the potatoes: Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into slices about 1 cm thick. This will allow for even cooking. Put a large pot of water to boil, add a pinch of salt, and when the water is boiling, add the potatoes. Boil them for 15-20 minutes until tender but not too soft. This step is essential for achieving a pleasant texture in the salad.

2. Blanching the onion: While the potatoes are boiling, peel and finely chop the onion. Heat a cup of chicken broth (or water with a cube of concentrate) in a small pot. Once the broth comes to a boil, add the onion and let it blanch for 3 minutes. This step will help reduce the intensity of the onion's flavor, making the salad more pleasant.

3. Preparing the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and capers. Gradually add the olive oil while continuously stirring to emulsify the dressing. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking. This dressing will add a note of acidity and freshness that will perfectly complement the salad.

4. Assembling the salad: After the potatoes are boiled, drain them and let them cool for a few minutes. In a large bowl, combine the boiled potatoes, blanched onion, and sliced salmon. Pour the dressing over and gently mix to avoid breaking the potatoes.

5. Serving: Serve the potato salad with salmon immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. This salad is delicious both warm and cold, and can be kept in the refrigerator for the next day, making it an ideal lunch for the office.

Useful tips:
- If you want to add other vegetables, you can include black olives or red bell peppers for an extra splash of color and flavor.
- The salmon can be replaced with canned tuna if you prefer a more budget-friendly option.
- For a crunchy note, add some toasted nuts on top of the salad before serving.
