Throw something on top of the potato - and ta da! A quick, easy, healthy dinner.
The other day I made a chopped salad to go on the potato - and by the side of the potato. It included:
- cucumber (home grown)
- yellow heirloom tomato
- mint (home grown)
- spring onion
- sugar snap peas
- pea shoots
- chioggia beets (home grown)
- green figs
- pomegranate seeds
and then drizzled with pomegranate balsamic vinegar.
It was delicious and so attractive too. Red, yellow, green, pink, blue, and white. Eating a rainbow a day is important as different phytonutrients are seen in different colored plants, so eating a rainbow of colors ensures that you get a good variety of phytonutrients.
One last thought about my potato. Eating our homegrown potatoes has shown me what a floury potato really is. I've seen the descriptor in recipes of floury or waxy potatoes - but I've never thought it that obvious. The white potatoes we are growing are the most floury potatoes I have ever eaten! They really taste of flour!! Unfortunately I don't know what variety they are as we planted a mix of red white and blues!
