Directions
- Add potatoes and 1 tsp. of salt into a pot with water and bring to the boil. Cover with lid and let potatoes simmer for 25 minutes or till they are cooked through
- While potatoes are boiling bring apple juice to the boil in another pot and let is simmer for 20 minutes to reduce the liquid
- Take potatoes out of the water and let them cool down for 15 minutes
- Take apple juice of the stove and let it cool down for 15 minutes
- Once apple juice and potatoes have cooled down mix them with all the other ingredients in a big bowl and serve.
You might want to prepare the salad in advance and let it rest for a few hours for the flavors to blend and harmonize even better. Just cover it with a cloth and place it in the fridge.
