Directions

  2. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a rapid simmer, cooking for 10 - 12 minutes until easily pierced with a fork. Then drain.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the dressing ingredients in a large bowl.
  4. Then, prepare the remaining salad ingredients (except for the pistachios) and add them to the large bowl as well.
  5. When the potatoes are done cooking, let them cool off a little before adding them to the large bowl. Mix.
  6. Sprinkle over the pistachios, and garnish with more fresh herbs on top if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you can't find any preserved lemon, consider adding some lemon zest to taste.
  • Harissa sauce is typically a thinner, milder form of harissa paste, blended with additional oil, tomatoes, or other liquids for a pourable consistency. It's available in both mild and hot varieties. For this recipe, we used the hot version.
