I am one of those people who want to eat a salad as a main meal. Especially if it is filling and delicious like the salad I serve you today. A salad that shouts summer from afar, is made very quickly and is extremely enjoyable. Potato salad with kritamo and anchovies.

WHAT IS KRITAMO?
Krithmon with the common name kritamo, is a plant of the celery family. Celery, parsley, fennel and dill belong to the same family. You can find it on the beaches, on the rocks where there is a little sand, enduring the force of the wind, watered with the salt of the sea. The stem and its leaves, when rubbed, give off a pleasant aroma, while it is considered a delicious dynamite for health.

So if you want to enjoy this delicious potato salad with kritamo and anchovies, all you have to do is get the following:
- Baby potatoes, radishes, onions, spring onions, lemon and lemongrass

This salad looks delicious! I’m just not clear on whether you’re using fresh or preserved Crithmum? At first I thought perhaps desalting meant washing off salt from freshly foraged Crithmum by the sea or if it’s been preserved in salt like Capers, then washing that off… However the images suggest treated in a brine or vinegar… if thats the case would you consider including a link to the recipe you’re using to preserve the Crithmum? Thank you!
Hello there! Thank you so much for your comment! In Greece you may find crithmum preserved in salt just like capers, just like you said. I used them!
