    Roasted new potato salad with pesto. Perfect summer meal! #saladrecipe #newpotatoes #vegan | @annabanana.co

    Friends, we are approaching this time of the year when Spring is transitioning into Summer, and I couldn't be happier about it! Warm and long days are finally here to be enjoyed, and for most of us, slaving in the kitchen is the last thing we want to be doing...

    Why this roasted new potato salad is so good for this time of the year?

    Simply, because it's super easy to make, it can be ready in just under 30 minutes (meaning you don't have to spend hours in a hot kitchen, meaning you can spend more time enjoying hot weather outdoors)! All what it takes is roasting the potatoes, tossing them in some green pesto, slicing the radishes and throwing some salad leaves. Yup, it really is that simple! Quick and really tasty meal, which could be ideal for all of your summer gatherings!

    Roasting new potatoes

    You may not be familiar with roasting new potatoes, or baby new potatoes, but don't fear! These little fellas are great for roasting, and because they are so small, they will take only about 15-20 minutes to be ready. Roasting new potatoes will result in that lovely, crispy and golden brown skin and soft and fluffy middle. Once you have cut your potatoes in halves, arrange them on a baking sheet cut side down. Smaller pieces may cook quicker, so it's always good idea to aim for similar size potatoes. However, if your halves vary in size, just make sure to check the smaller pieces after about 15 minutes of roasting, as they may be ready sooner.

    Putting it all together

    ...couldn't be simpler. While your potatoes are roasting, start slicing or chopping the radishes. All what's left after the roasting is to mix all of the ingredients together. Toss the spuds with some pesto, then add radish and salad leaves of your choice. Drizzle with some more pesto and lemon juice, and perfect lunch or dinner is ready!

But it can also be served as a side dish, so perfect for all the summer BBQ's! Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge and eaten the next day, although this salad is best served and eaten on the same day.

      I just had roasted baby potatoes for lunch. They would have made an amazing salad! I've never even thought of mixing the two. Love the idea! Will have to do that next time. 🙂

      The dish looks so good! I wonder if you could just roast them on a pan outside on a grill? I hate turning my oven on in the summer. Thanks for sharing!

        Hi Analida! Thanks so much, glad to hear you like the dish! And I don't see why not, roasting them in the pan on the grill should work just fine too! Let me know if you try that method, I would love to know the result!

      Such a great recipe for the summer Anna! Potatoes are too under-rated in my opinion, so it's great to see them being the star of the show! And slaving away in the kitchen in the summer is definitely not cool, so I'm always up for easy and simple dinners like this. Great recipe my friend xx
