Directions
For the Spice Blend
Finely grind the cumin and coriander and mix with the other ingredients.
For the Salad
Rinse the potatoes.
Cover them with water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, and cook over medium-high heat for about ten minutes, or until the tip of a knife slides easily inside a potato. Drain and set aside.
Mix the olive oil with the juice of 2 lemons in a large bowl. Whisk in the salt, garlic, and 1 Tablespoon of the spice mix.
Add the warm potatoes, chopped parsley, 2/3 of the chopped scallions and the capers and mix well.
Garnish with the cilantro leaf, remaining scallions, and olives, as well as flaky salt to taste.
And if you have leftovers, combine them with canned Italian tuna for next day’s lunch.
