Serving suggestion for this Broccolini Potato Salad
This Creamy Za’atar Broccolini and Potato Salad is delicious served cold, but can also be eaten warm.
Make it a full meal topped with some protein for a filling lunch or dinner. These are my favourite toppings for the salad:
- Halloumi: A 200 gr piece (I love Dodoni), chopped in small pieces and pan-fried till crispy or
- Soft Boiled or Hard Boiled Eggs or
- Grilled Chicken
Perfect to bring to dinner parties, BBQ and also goes so well alongside grilled meats or seafood. A great one for Christmas coming up and a lighter, healthier version than a classic potato salad.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Can’t find the za’atar spice mix? Add a bit extra salt and pepper for seasoning the potatoes and the zest of 1 lemon instead.
