Although I really like sauces, cheeses, meats and potatoes (well, I was raised on traditional Polish diet, wasn’t I :)), during summer I tend to pick lighter menu more often. And I say “more often” because quitting potatoes altogether is out of the question. Especially new potatoes prepared with butter and some dill…mmmm…
My mom and I ate this salad frequently when I was teenager. It was supposed to help my skin get better, or so my mother said. I am not sure about its effectiveness in that area, but I know that I never complained, as taste of it was enough to ask for seconds.
You can change proportions if you want, it will turn out yummy anyway; but please don’t omit the oats! It is secret ingredient that makes the whole thing really special. Oats and kiwis.
