Greek salad with roasted potatoes and feta cream

Like going over to the Mediterranean for an evening, with a little twist! Roasted potatoes are not a classic ingredient in a Greek salad. But oh so good! And the feta cheese is mashed and mixed with crème fraiche instead of being served as is. A simple and fresh dinner - yes, thank you!

Grilled sausage in tortilla bread with creamy fresh potato salad

Creamy potato salad is always right. The creaminess comes from crème fraiche and the seasoning is French mustard and lemon. The salad is perfect to serve in a tortilla with grilled sausage and some vegetables. Finish by drizzling over some delicious BBQ sauce.

Warm potato salad with white beans and chicken

The potato salad is expanded with a little cauliflower and mixed with a lovely oil-vinegar dressing that has extra saltiness from the capers. Serve the potato salad together with fresh vegetables, radishes, mache salad and beans, as well as cooked chicken.
