Ingredients

  • 2 small to medium waxy potatoes
  • salt
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 2 to 3 plump red juicy tomatoes
  • 45 grams goat cheese see notes after the recipe
  • sugar
  • 6 large sweet basil leaves thinly sliced
  • extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Scrub the potatoes under the tap.
  • Place the scrubbed potatoes in a pan, cover with water, and add the salt and vinegar.
  • Bring the potatoes to the boil, cover the pan, lowet the heat and simmer until a knife inserted through the thickest part goes all the way to the center with just the slightest resistance.
  • Scoop out the potatoes and dump in a bowl of iced water.
  • Slice the tomatoes.
  • Slice the goat cheese.
  • Peel the potatoes and slice (see notes after the recipe).
  • Sprinkle the tomatoes with a little sugar.
  • Sprinkle the potatoes with a little salt.
  • Arrange the tomatoes, potatoes and cheese alternately in a plate to form a circle.
  • Sprinkle the basil leaves over them.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

Connie’s Notes

Ideally, you should have equal number of slices for all three ingredients. For two persons, about six slices each of tomatoes, potatoes and cheese.
Herbed goat cheese and sliced vegetables
About the seasonings and aromatics… I used herbed goat cheese so I didn’t add any pepper to the salad. If using plain goat cheese, you may want to add some freshly ground black pepper.
No lemon juice nor vinegar was used in the dressing. The tomatoes were acidic enough.
