Moreover, it is a simple, quick recipe that doesn't require much preparation time. Let's get started!
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Marinating time: 15 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 5 small potatoes or 3 large potatoes
- 1 green onion
- 2-3 bell peppers
- Juice of 1 lemon or vinegar (to taste)
- Salt, pepper (to taste)
- 300 g pickled mushrooms (in vinegar)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1-2 small onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Step by step:
1. Marinating the onion: Start by peeling the onion and slicing it into julienne (thin strips). Place the onion in a bowl and add the lemon juice and soy sauce. Mix well to coat the onion evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. This will help to reduce the strong taste of the onion and add a touch of freshness to the salad.
2. Boiling the potatoes: Meanwhile, wash the potatoes well and boil them with their skins in a pot of salted water. Choose potatoes of similar sizes to ensure even cooking. After about 20 minutes (or until tender), remove them from the water and let them cool. Once cooled sufficiently, peel them and cut them into cubes.
3. Preparing the ingredients: Slice the bell peppers into thin pieces and the green onion into rounds. The pickled mushrooms can be used whole if they are small or sliced lengthwise. These mushrooms add a unique flavor and a crunchy texture to the salad.
4. Mixing the salad: In a large bowl, add the potato cubes, bell peppers, slices of pickled mushrooms, and green onion. Remove the marinated onion from the fridge and add it to the bowl as well. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and olive oil to taste. Gently mix all the ingredients to avoid crushing the potatoes until well combined.
5. Serving: The potato salad with pickled mushrooms and marinated onion is best served immediately, but it can also be left in the fridge to allow the flavors to meld. You can garnish it with a few fresh parsley leaves or additional slices of green onion for a more appealing look.
Practical tips:
- You can experiment with different types of pickled mushrooms, such as forest mushrooms, which add extra flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a tablespoon of honey to the onion marinade.
- This salad can be an excellent side dish for grilled meats or served as a healthy appetizer.
Enjoy this unique and flavorful salad, perfect for warm days or any special occasion! Bon appétit!
