How To Make Potato Salad Extra Special
I just love this recipe, baby new potatoes, asparagus and smoked salmon just work so well together, a really lovely flavoursome spring dish.
It’s really quick to make, it tastes absolutely delicious, makes me feel healthy just eating it AND it looks really pretty on the plate. This recipe makes enough beautiful potato salad for two people for an easy light lunch or supper.
To save time choose new potatoes that are already cleaned so they just need a quick run under the tap to wash them and buy rocket leaves washed and ready to eat. When cooking midweek I like things to be quick and easy.
If you prefer you can just drape the smoked salmon over the salad as it is but I like it hot so give it a quick fry and serve it warm. It’s one of my favourite easy salmon recipes.

How To Make Potato Salad With Asparagus & Smoked Salmon
- Cook the potatoes and asparagus – bring a pan of salted water to the boil, tip in the new potatoes and simmer for around 6-7 minutes until tender – add the asparagus for the last 4 minutes of cooking.
- Mix up the salad dressing – whilst the potatoes cook make up the potato salad dressing by mixing the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon zest and 1 tsp of the capers together in a small dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the potatoes and asparagus in dressing – When the potatoes and asparagus are cooked, drain, put the asparagus to one side and then toss the potatoes in the creamy lemon dressing.
- Cook the salmon if serving it warm – add a splash of oil to a frying pan and quickly fry up the smoked salmon strips if you’re having them hot – just fry until they’re cooked through properly.
- Assemble the salad – by adding a couple of handfuls of rocket to the plate, pile on the dressed potatoes, scatter over the asparagus and lay the salmon on top, scatter over the remaining teaspoonful of capers.
