🥗 POTATO LUNCH SALAD WITH BASIL PARSLEY PESTO 🥗
This potato salad is easy to make, great to take to work and oh so delicious. Perfect lunch if you ask me. Or why not serve it as a side when you are hosting a cookout?
Italian basil is not a standard herb in Cambodia. Here they have the Thai basil. After all those years living it still hasn't grown on me. There is something about the taste I don't quite like. But the good news, a friend of ours is growing heaps of the yummy Italian basil at home and he gave us some the other day.
It smells and tastes so good. If we only had strawberries I would make a strawberry basil smoothie on this lovely morning... but we can't have it all right. Already happy and excited for today's lunch. Made the potato salad yesterday and it is sitting in the fridge waiting to be eaten.
Furthermore, a little over a week and I'll be in Belgium where the strawberry season has started. Can't wait to go to the market and buy all my favorite non-Asian foods.
But hey let's talk potato salad now.
