-
⅓ cup (43 g)dried apricots, chopped
-
¼ cup (4 g)fresh dill, chopped
-
¼ cup (4 g)fresh parsley, chopped

2preserved lemon slices, minced†
-
3 Tbsp (23 g)roasted unsalted pistachios, chopped

¼ tspsalt, plus more to taste
Directions
- Add the potatoes to a large pot of simmering salted water.
- Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a rapid simmer, cooking for 10 - 12 minutes until easily pierced with a fork. Then drain.
- Meanwhile, mix the dressing ingredients in a large bowl.
- Then, prepare the remaining salad ingredients (except for the pistachios) and add them to the large bowl as well.
- When the potatoes are done cooking, let them cool off a little before adding them to the large bowl. Mix.
- Sprinkle over the pistachios, and garnish with more fresh herbs on top if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- †If you can't find any preserved lemon, consider adding some lemon zest to taste.
- †Harissa sauce is typically a thinner, milder form of harissa paste, blended with additional oil, tomatoes, or other liquids for a pourable consistency. It's available in both mild and hot varieties. For this recipe, we used the hot version.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Great combination of flavours. So fresh tasting. The brand of harissa sauce that I bought was crazy hot so I only used a teaspoon. This tastes even better the next day. I will definitely be making this again.
So delicious! And quick to make, too. Will definitely add that to my go to recepies.
Wow, delicious and quick
What an awesome salad! I literally love the sweet taste of apricots with hearty potatoes, fresh cucumber and all of it! This sałat was a showstopper on my grandad birthday 🎈 :D
This is delicious and a really creative interesting dish that I will be making again! I did want to share my recommendation for anyone wanting to prepare this some hours in advance: add the cucumbers + pistachios only when serving, so they keep their crisp. Much love!
Devious potato salad, maybe even the best one I have ever had! The dried apricots really -like really- adds something amazing to the dish!
I loved the recipe😊 Me and my husband almost never eat potatoes, but this sounded so amazing and easy to make, I wanted to try it. We switched te cucumber for cherry tomatoes and added more preserved lemon 🍋😋 for everyone who is or isn’t a potato fan, this is delicious!
Can I eat this cold the next day?
So good! Had to replace some ingredients I didn't have and left out cumin (cause I don't like the taste) and it turned out so so good and fresh! Perfect dish for a hot summer day ☀️
Very delicious salad ♥️
everyone asks for the recipe🤗
This is really nice! Very easy to make when you come home from a hard day of work. And the taste is really good! This is definitely a keeper and will return on our menu!
Great combination of tastes✨
I only have floury-cooking -we say this in germany- potatoes. Would it work in this salad?
Or is it better to use firm-cooking potatoes?
Yummy yummy yummy 😋
I made this for my friend as she’s not really into cooking! She didn’t have a lot of the ingredients, so I offered to cook it for dinner! We had it with Salmon what a taste sensation. I wish you could have heard us going Mmmm Mmmm to each other 🤣 It was that tasty we realised when we’d finished that we’d not opened the wine!! 😜
I’m making it again next weekend for a family gathering. This will be a regular at my dinner table. My friend went off home with another container full for lunch the next day.
Thank you so much for your ongoing hard work and devotion to all your subscribers. Not only do you tickle my taste buds but you calm my nerves and I use you as my regular down time. 🙏
This was a hit at a family bbq! Swapped the harissa for paprika and worked just as well. A crowd favorite, had to share the recipe.
This is so good! I added a whole lot of green lentils, spinach and radish to it to make it into a full meal. Definitely will be making it again! :)
This is so good and so easy! Thanks for yet another great recipe! I can't get enough of it, I've made it twice within a week. I used fresh apricots instead of dried ones, works fine as well. Didn't have preserved lemons so I went for lemon zest.
This is a crowd pleaser for summer dinner parties, for sure! 🤩
Easy to make and so tasty! The apricots and nuts really add a nice texture, so don’t skip on them!
This was so easy and so tasty! Thanks PUL!
