This vibrant potato salad pairs tender steamed potatoes and eggs with protein-rich edamame beans, all coated in a fresh Green Goddess dressing.

About this recipe
Potato Salad with Green Goddess Dressing in the Thermomix TM7 is the fresher, greener cousin of the classic potato salad your grandmother made. If you have been searching for a potato salad recipe that feels light yet satisfying, this all-in-one kitchen machine version delivers exactly that: waxy potatoes steamed to just-tender in the Varoma, jammy eggs, and bright green edamame beans, all tossed in a silky Green Goddess dressing built from extra virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice and a generous handful of chives, dill and parsley. It works brilliantly as a quick weeknight dinner, a picnic bowl, or a make-ahead lunch, because the flavours deepen after a short rest in the fridge. The TM7 steams the vegetables gently so nothing turns watery, weighs the potatoes directly in the Varoma dish, and blitzes the herbs into a vivid dressing in seconds — three jobs, one bowl, no fuss.
Preparation tips
- Choose waxy potatoes of a similar size so they steam evenly alongside the edamame beans in the Varoma; uneven chunks lead to some pieces turning mushy while others stay firm.
- Let the steamed potatoes and eggs cool slightly before combining with the Green Goddess dressing, so the olive oil and lemon emulsion clings to the surface instead of sliding off.
- The dressing tastes even better after an hour in the fridge, giving the chives, dill and parsley time to infuse the oil — ideal for making the salad ahead of a picnic or barbecue.
Recipe variations
- Make it dairy-light and vegan by swapping the eggs for steamed asparagus pieces and adding a spoonful of white beans; the Green Goddess dressing of olive oil, lemon and herbs stays exactly the same.
- For a festive winter version, replace the edamame with steamed Brussels sprout halves and add crispy fried shallots on top, keeping the lemon-herb dressing as the fresh finishing touch.
