- a handful of fresh basil leaves
- a small piece of fresh ginger
- a small piece of fresh turmeric
- 2 tablespoon teriyaki sauce or soya sauce
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- ½-1 cup coconut milk; just enough to make the dressing blend
Potato salad
- ½ kg small or medium young potatoes
- 1 cup water to boil the potatoes
- pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
- 200 grams smoked tofu
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard sauce with seeds
- 2 clove of garlic
- some fresh chives
- some fresh dill
Instructions
Potato Dressing
- Put all the ingredients apart from the milk in a blender
- Add half the milk and blend into a smooth creamy sauce
- Add milk if your blender is having a hard time to whirl up everything
- Transfer the sauce into an air-tight container and keep in the fridge
Potato salad
- Clean the potatoes then add them in a large pan together with fennel & cumin seeds
- Put the pan on a source of heat and add 1 cup of boiling water and salt
- Increase the heat till the boiling takes place then lower the heat
- Boil the potatoes till cooked; this will take about 15 mins if the potatoes are young and small
- Insert a knife or a fork in one potato to check the cooking
- Remove from the heat and drain (don't throw the water, you can use it to make stew)
- Cooldown the potatoes by putting them back in the pan and add very cold water, you can add ice cubes if you have. This is to quicken the cooling effect
- Meanwhile, press the garlic and chop the herbs
- Cut the smoked tofu into cubes
- Once the potatoes have cooled cut them into bite sizes
- In a salad bowl, bring the potatoes with all the ingredients.
- Add as much potato dressing as you want and mix gently using a wooden spoon
- Check for the seasoning, and serve

Notes
- The choice of your tofu will affect the texture of the sauce
- The more milk you add the less creamy your sauce will be, so add a little milk at a time starting with ½ cup
- You can choose to peel your potatoes, do so only after cooking to avoid the loss of minerals and vitamins
