Ingredients- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1/4 onion
- 20g red cabbage
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp milk
- 0.5 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp plain yogurt
- 2 pinches salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing all your ingredients. Peel the potatoes. For the bell peppers, onion, and red cabbage, ensure they are well-drained after washing.
Step 2
To prepare your edible cups, cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise. Carefully use a knife to scoop out the seeds and the white membrane from the center, creating a hollowed-out bowl shape. These will be perfect vessels for your salad.
Step 3
Finely dice the red cabbage, onion, and the bell pepper flesh that you scooped out. Minced vegetables will blend seamlessly into the salad, enhancing its texture and overall flavor.
Step 4
Cut the peeled potatoes into small, bite-sized pieces. Place them in a microwave-safe container, cover with plastic wrap, and poke a few holes in the wrap with a toothpick. Microwave for about 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Once cooked, use a potato masher or the back of a fork to mash the potatoes until smooth. It’s best to mash them while they are still warm.
Step 5
Add the finely diced onion, bell pepper, and red cabbage to the mashed potatoes. Incorporate 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt, and 2 pinches of salt to season the mixture.
Step 6
Enhance the salad’s flavor profile by adding 0.5 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice for a bright tang, and a pinch of black pepper for a subtle warmth.
Step 7
Using a spatula or spoon, gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Ensure the mashed potatoes are evenly distributed with the other ingredients to create a smooth and delicious potato salad base.
Step 8
Generously spoon the prepared potato salad into the hollowed-out bell pepper cups. The vibrant colors of the bell peppers will make the salad look even more appetizing.
Step 9
Finally, garnish each cup with a fresh mint leaf for a decorative touch. Your cute and beautiful bell pepper cup potato salad is now ready to be enjoyed! It’s a dish that’s as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate.
