Natto Potato Salad with Tangy-Tamarind Dressing
This unique potato salad comes in response to customer requests for using our freeze-dried natto and tamarind paste in recipes. We thought it would be a great idea to subdue the texture and mellow the flavor of the natto into some favorite dishes while turning up the pizazz at the same time with tamarind paste. For those who are hesitant about the texture and flavor of natto, but want the gut-health benefits, this salad would be a great start! Remember to prepare the natto ahead of time as instructed on the package. Although we did not peel the potatoes, feel free to do so once cooked and cooled enough to handle. The peel should slip off easily.
