Servings: persons

2 medium potatoes
1 tablespoon turmeric powder
salt, to taste
½ cup fresh cilantro or ½ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 medium tomatoes, chopped
12 medium red bell pepper, chopped
10 green olives stuffed with almonds in olive oil or 10 regular green olives in brine, sliced
½ cup red onion, finely chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon
½ teaspoon red pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon black pepper

1
Wash,peel and cut potatoes into large chunks.Place in a large pot,cover with water.Add turmeric and a generous amount of salt.Bring to a boil and boil gently until tender but not mushy(easily pierced with a knife or fork),about 12 minutes.
2
Meanwhile,chop all ingredients,chopping the cilantro or parsley very finely,and leaving the tomato and pepper in larger chunks,about 1''x1 1/2''.If you'd like you can place the chopped onion in a sieve,sprinkle liberally with salt,set aside for 5 minutes,and rinse under cold water,squeezing out excess moisture.This step is not necessary,but it helps tame some of the onion's ''bite''.Slice olives.
3
Place all vegetables into a bowl with oil and spices.Cut lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl(you may only want to use 1/2 of the lemon,depending on how sour you'd like your salad.
4
When potatoes are ready,drain then into a colander and let them cool for a couple of minutes.Add to the rest of the ingredients and toss gently to mix everything together.Add salt or extra spices to taste.this is good warm or cold.
