Potato and Green Olive Salad
Insalata di Patate e Olive Verdi

1 pound potatoes
1/3 cup green olives, pits removed and finely chopped
1 tablespoon capers
3 lettuce leaves
2 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper

Add the potatoes to a pot with enough cold water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until just fork tender. Drain the potatoes, then set them aside to cool. Once the potatoes are cool, peel them and cut into small cubes. Line a salad bowl with the lettuce leaves. In another bowl, combine the potatoes, olives and capers and mix to combine. In another small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and whisk until emulsified. Add the potato mixture to the salad bowl, drizzle with the dressing. Set aside for a few minutes to allow the flavors to combine and serve immediately.
