Mediterranean Spring Salad
Description
This Mediterranean Spring Salad combines the earthy comfort of new potatoes with the bright freshness of mixed greens. The potatoes are boiled until tender, then marinated in a punchy dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, and crushed garlic, allowing them to absorb bold flavors while still warm. Topped with juicy tomato wedges, crisp green pepper slices, and fresh greens, this dish offers a perfect balance of textures and tastes. It is an ideal light lunch or side dish for spring gatherings, bringing a burst of color and flavor to your table without heavy preparation.Ingredients
