Ingredients
  

  • 550 g potatoes 19.5 oz
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 15 oz
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/3 heaped cup finely chopped gherkins
  • 3 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Dessert

  • 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup plain unsweetened yogurt of choice I used unsweetened soy

Instructions
 

Boil the Potatoes

  • Start by cutting the potatoes into similar sized chunks. I keep the skin on but you can peel them if you prefer. Place them in a pot with boiling water. Cook them for about 8-10 minutes, just until they're fork-tender. You don't want mush here, so keep an eye on them. Once they're done, drain and let them cool slightly.

Get the Base Ready

  • While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onions and put them in a bowl with cold water. This will reove some of the sharpness of raw onions.
    Drain and rinse the chickpeas, finely chop the gherkins, chives, and dill and place them into a big mixing bowl.
    1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed, 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/3 heaped cup finely chopped gherkins, 3 tbsp fresh chives, 2 tbsp fresh dill

Whip Up the Dressing

  • In a smaller bowl, first whisk together mustard, balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt. Then add the olive oil and yogurt and mix it all in. Give it a little taste and adjust salt.

Bring It All Together

  • Add your cooled down potatoes to the bowl with the chickpea mix. Pour the dressing all over and gently toss everything until it's coated. The potatoes are delicate, so do it gently. Taste and adjust salt and pepper

Serve or Chill

  • You can serve it right away, or pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to chill. Both ways are honestly great.
