Ingredients

• 900 grams Baby potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons Pumpkin seeds
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon Flaxseeds
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic clove (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, toast the seeds. In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, and flaxseeds. Stir frequently and toast for 2-3 minutes or until aromatic and lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic to form the dressing.

Step 5

Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the toasted seeds, chopped parsley, dill, and sliced green onions.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the potatoes, and gently toss to combine. Ensure the dressing evenly coats all the potatoes.

Step 7

Season with freshly ground black pepper and adjust salt to taste if needed.

Step 8

Serve the potato salad slightly warm or at room temperature. Garnish with extra parsley or green onions if desired.
