Roasted Potato Salad

By

Roasted Potato and Kidney beans Salad is a refreshing way to pair the traditional indian potatoes and rajma into a salad and a perfect balance of carbs and protein. 

I have decided to do a #MeatlessMonday challenge for my salads, and its been long enough i have wanted to do this. Over the weekend i met a friend, who is more than my strength, and a little push from loved ones does wonders, and hence iam here trying to kickstart this. Even though all my salads have veg substitutes mentioned in it, but i thought why not specifically do some meatless salads too. 

But i am particular about getting the right balance of proteins and carbs in my salads, otherwise as its said in Hindi, “gale se nai utrega”(literally, wouldn’t slide down my throat). So a paneer, or kidney beans always comes to my rescue as a portion in my salads. Also i had a bag full of these pretty tiny potatoes to use, a long time bookmarked post from a dear fellow blogger in mind (Srujans potato and rajma salad), the rosemary and potatoes were stuck in my mind. Played with the dressing, the ingredients, and what a lovely salad it turned out to be.

  • 1 cup kidney beans, soaked, cooked
