“The best creamy potato salad (thanks to the tahini and yoghurt) without the guilt!” nutritionist Vladia Cobrdova writes of this recipe from her cookbook ‘A Whole New Way to Eat’.

Cobrdova recommends using sebago, dutch cream or desiree potatoes for the salad, which is given “a little zest” from the addition of the gherkins.

A Whole New Way to Eat features recipes for more than 135 dishes she developed for the About Life chain of wholefood stores and cafes.

Meanwhile, soft-boil the eggs by putting them in a saucepan of cold water. Bring to the boil and cook over high heat for 3 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water and rest for 1 minute, then drain and peel off shells.

Transfer the cooled potatoes to a large bowl. Add the onion, gherkin, dill and salt.

Whisk together the yoghurt, tahini, olive oil, reserved pickling liquid, mustard and turmeric, then pour over the potatoes and toss gently to coat. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Put the salad in a serving bowl and top with the soft-boiled eggs, gently pulled in half.
