  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tbsp of parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp of oregano, chopped

Method

1
Boil the potatoes until cooked but not overly soft. When cooled, carefully peel the potatoes and slice into 5mm rounds

Rinse the capers and roughly chop them together with the olives. Set aside
3
Make a dressing by blending together the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper
