Salt and Pepper Potato and Corn Salad
This is not your everyday potato salad. Salt and pepper potato chips are a personal favorite and the inspiration for this salad. Combining the classic flavors of summer— corn, baby spinach and creamy burrata— with the tender crunch of thinly sliced grilled potato and you’ve got a crowd-pleaser in fifteen minutes. For the dressing? Couldn’t be easier. All you need is a squeeze of grilled lemon, a glug of good olive, a dash of honey and a pinch of chili flake and you’re good to go.
