Step 1
Cut any larger new potatoes into equal size. Pop in a pan of boiling water or steamer basket and cook for 10-15 minutes until just soft when pricked with a knife. Drain and leave to cool in the colander.
Step 2
Make the lemon dressing (if you don’t have any in the fridge) and pour 8 tablespoons into a small bowl. Add the red onion to soak for a few minutes whilst the potatoes are cooking.
Step 3
Prepare the sugar snap peas by trimming the ends and peeling of any tough bits. Slice in half.
Step 4
Grab a large bowl. Tear the spinach into smallish pieces and scatter onto the bottom of the bowl. Add half the prepared mange tout and half the red onion.
Step 5
Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks and scatter into the bowl.
Step 6
Add the remaining sugar snap peas and red onion to the bowl. Drizzle on the dressing. Scatter pistachios and fresh herbs over the top and serve straight away.
