Spuds and Fruit

I've been nibbling at unhealthy options all day and nearly didn't have the energy or hunger to make a meal this evening. However, at great risk to my figure I have knocked up a small collation for tonight's blog.



Rosy Potato Salad with Peanuts and Mint is made with red skinned Cherie potatoes boiled without peeling and then skinned when they are cooked. They are mixed with a little finely chopped onion and a peeled, deseeded and finely diced tomato. The dressing is made from my new favourite of a small pot of soya yoghurt, half a teaspoonful of Dijon mustard and just enough tomato ketchup to make it nice and pink. Pile into a dish and sprinkle roasted peanuts and mint slivers over it.

Orange and Date Cocktail is exactly what it says it is. Spend a little time making tidy segments of your large and juicy orange, catch all the juice as you work then mix prepared orange and juice with a handful of stoned and chopped dates in a pretty glass.
