Finely chop the ingredients for the pesto and blend them using a food processor or an immersion blender until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
Cut the potatoes into thin slices and fry them in hot oil until crispy. Alternatively, drizzle them with oil and bake them in a convection oven or air fryer at 350°F.
Place the still-warm potatoes in a large bowl with the pesto, arugula, lemon zest, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes
Refine the salad with feta cheese, if you like.
Edible flowers can add a pop of delightful color to this salad.
