Potatoes and spinach morph into a uniquely flavoured delicacy, thanks to the garlic dressing. At just 75 calories per serving, this salad is also rich in folic acid of which potatoes are a rich source. I have not peeled the potatoes as the skin provides fibre and potassium as well.

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic (lehsun)
