Baby potatoes bathed in a creamy curd-based dressing, this salad is truly irresistible. Dill gives the dressing a pleasant but unique flavour, which is what transforms this simple salad of green peas and potatoes into an exotic treat.

Mustard powder adds a touch of spice to this fabulous Peas and Potato Salad, making it a complete treat for your palate. While we have made this recipe after peeling the cooked baby potatoes, you can also try making it with the peel on, to get a different but very interesting flavour.

In any case, always remember to toss this salad just before serving as the sauce is curd-based and can turn watery if left to stand for too long.
