Cullen's Cilantro Potato Salad
1 cup Mayonnaise (see recipe Below)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/3 cup finely chopped celery
2 pounds new or small red potatoes, quartered, boiled in salted water to cover
until fork tender, and drained
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, cilantro, garlic, onion, and
celery, mix well, and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the potatoes
carefully so as not to break them up. Season again with salt and pepper. Cover
and refrigerate for 1 hour
James's Mayonnaise
1 large egg
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cups olive oil
In a food processor or blender, blend the egg, mustard, and lemon juice together
for 20 seconds. With the machine running, slowly pour in the oil through the
feed tube. The mixture will thicken. Season with salt and freshly ground black
pepper to taste and pulse once or twice to blend.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Best if used within 24
hours.
The only way to be
absolutely safe is never to tray anything for the first time.
