Potato and Egg Salad with Pesto


© 2021 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




This quick pesto potato salad with eggs actually makes a complete meal. It's quick, simple, but very delicious and satisfying. It is a salad that can be done throughout the entire year! Prepare it the night before, the flavours will have time to be mingled together. Sprinkle some crispy bacon bites over if you desired.

SaladAlmond Pesto
  • 650 g Baby potatoes
  • 4 Medium eggs, at room temperature
  • 50 g Arugula or other baby greens
  • Dill or herb of your choice
  • 150 g Vine-ripened cherry tomatoes
  • 1 bunch Basil, leaves picked

  1. For the pesto, place all ingredients in a food processor and whiz until smooth. Season and set aside.
  2. Place potatoes in a saucepan of cold salted water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes until fork tender. Drain and set aside to cool completely, then halve.
  3. Bring a saucepan of water to the boil over medium-high heat. Cook eggs for 7 minutes for hard-boiled or cooked to your liking. Drain and run under cold water.
  4. Place potatoes in a bowl with half the pesto and toss to combine. Add the arugula leaves, dill or herb of your choice and tomatoes.
  5. Peel the eggs and halve. Place on top of the salad and serve with extra pesto.

Es una ensalada que nosotros hacemos mucho, con diversidad de ingredientes. El toque crunch de las almendras me ha gustado y lo pondré en mis próximas ensaladas.
Un beso.

Love potato salad with eggs. But with that combo, I usually use mayo. The idea of pesto is genius! Really. Good. Stuff. Thanks! :-)

My favourite salad!!! I could have a lot of it. Hehe. But I rarely use pesto for my egg and potato salad. Usually I have it with sesame dressing.

Angie, Very attractive presentation! My wife would love this potato salad...very different than the 'usual'. As for myself, I've never understood the attraction of cold or room temperature potatoes...unless they're in chip form. Different strokes for different folks... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviews 10/3/22 08:18

Cold baby potatoes and hard-boiled egg, two of my most favourite things! I would never have thought of the pesto sauce, but I just know it is going to taste delicious. Crispy bacon bites are a 'must' rather than an optional extra, as I love those too! :)

Chef Mimi 10/3/22 13:33

Mmmmm, and I just thawed out a jar of my pesto. I like what you added to it, though.

I'm not a creative cook - at least I don't come up with new cooking ideas, and I would have never thought of adding pesto. Great idea. Thank you. Hugs-Erika

Oh YUM? I actually have quite a bit of basil pesto in the freezer. I'm thinking of making this salad using it them adding chopping almonds and sprinkling with smoked paprika. What do you think? It's a great salad for my husband and me.

I love the addition of potatoes in this salad. With the eggs it's almost like 2 salads in one, but with pesto instead of mayonnaise. Healthier too! Thanks Angie!
