The Method

1
Boil the Jersey Royal Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender but still firm. Drain and let cool slightly.
2
Prepare the Seaweed: If using dried seaweed, rehydrate according to package instructions. Chop larger pieces into smaller, manageable sizes. For fresh seaweed, rinse thoroughly to remove any sand or debris.
3
Cook the Asparagus (Optional): Melt Jersey butter in a pan over medium heat. Sauté asparagus for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
4
Make the Sesame Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, Jersey honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
5
Assemble the Salad: Halve or quarter the slightly cooled Jersey Royal potatoes depending on their size. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, seaweed, asparagus (if using), spring onions, and radishes.
6
Dress the Salad: Pour the sesame dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
7
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately or chill for later.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, roast the potatoes in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil before adding them to the salad.

Experiment with different types of locally sourced seaweed to find your favorite flavor combination.

Add a protein source such as grilled tofu or edamame for a more substantial meal.

If you can't find Jersey honey, use another local honey or maple syrup.

The salad can be prepared ahead of time, but add the dressing just before serving to prevent the potatoes from becoming soggy.
