A savoury blend of rosemary roasted purple potatoes, cauliflower, carrot, tossed with arugula leaves and a simple red wine vinaigrette. It's easy to make and and you can adjust ingredients to suit your own personal taste. I love starchy, earthy and nutty purple potatoes in this salad, but if you can’t find them, just use a mixture of new potatoes instead.

- Mix 4 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary. Add potatoes, cauliflower florets and carrots and toss. Spread out onto a baking sheet and bake for 50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool to the room temperature.
- In a blender, mix the red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic cloves, Dijon mustard, paprika powder, honey, salt and pepper. With the machine running, gradually blend in the oil.
- Toss the baked purple potatoes and vegetables with arugula. Add 1/2 cup of the dressing and toss to coat, adding more if necessary. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve immediately.

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 284 Newer› Newest»I love using the purple potatoes--they add such a lovely colour. And, this would be a salad that my mother would just have adored with the vinaigrette you've done--reminded of one she actually called her German Potato salad, XOXO
A wonderful dish; so colorful, healthy and delicious!
Cheers,

Beautiful colours Angie, I really like your potato shots. Lovely summer recipe
This is like a piece of art work. It's almost a shame to call it potato salad as it's so much more! Very delicious looking and sounding, Angie!
Love the salad combo. Toss in some cooked meaat, poultry, seafood or tofu and it's a meal.
Healthy delicious and colourful :)

Been a while since I cooked with purple potatoes. They are beautiful, aren't they? I like how roasting brings out the natural sugars of the vegetables and the vinaigrette must be balancing it so well.
So pretty Angie! Those purple potatoes look like giant gnarled blueberries :-)
Purple potatoes just showed up in my market! They're so pretty in this salad Angie!
this looks so good and what a fab dressing
such a fresh looking salad
Wow! Those potatoes really pop in your pictures. Totally fantastic!
purple potatoes could taste like feet and i'd still love them simply because of their gorgeous hue!
One of our markets sells a bag of purple, blue and golden potatoes, and they make some of the prettiest salads. The vinaigrette is a nice touch.
awesome i've got some of those purple potatoes i can't wait to try this recipe! The combination of potatoes and cauliflowers sounds healthy and refreshing. thanks for sharing!
Now that is one truly beautiful, colorful take on the typically plain-Jane potato salad. I love it, especially because it has plenty of different vegetables going on and it's dressed with a light vinaigrette, rather than gloppy mayo. Your version is just my speed!
Ah, so gorgeous! You know, I haven't come across purple potatoes in ages but this post makes me think I should double my efforts!
Such beautiful photos of a delicious dish. I can't wait to give this recipe a try.
This potato salad has got my attention! so pretty and colorful and just delicious!
i love the colorfull salad...
refreshing,
love your plating skills even more
