Stuff to know
This salad will provide 4-6 portions.
It is recommended to mix the dressing through the potatoes when they are still lukewarm since they will take on the flavour better.
Use ripe avocadoes for the best flavour.
Replace the capers with chopped gherkins.
Replace in the dressing the sweet chili sauce and ketchup with mustard and fresh tarragon.
