New Potato Salad with Gazpacho Dressing
Gazpacho is the famous Spanish chilled soup, made with tomatoes,
peppers, onions and garlic. Use the same ingredients to make a fresh
dressing for this simple salad of new potatoes. Add the dressing to the
potatoes while they are hot, even if you aren't eating them straight
away, as this will help the flavours to infuse.
