The best potato salad recipe ever! Easy to make, terrific to take along on a picnic.
What you will need:
2 lbs of thin skinned baby potatoes, chopped into bite size chunks
1 bunch of asparagus, stemmed and cut into ½ inch pieces
1 cup of frozen peas
2 cloves of garlic, minced
¼ cup each of dill, tarragon, and parsley
2 tsp of honey mustard
The zest and juice from one lemon
1 ½ tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
How to make it:
Steam potatoes for about eight minutes or until fork tender. Place potatoes in a large bowl and then use the same steamer basket to steam the peas and asparagus. The veggies should only take three or four minutes to cook, watch them closely because you want them to remain crisp and vibrant.
Once the veggies are done add them to the bowl with the potatoes. Stir in garlic, lemon juice, honey mustard and a pinch of salt. Combine well.
Finish with the olive oil, fresh herbs, and lemon zest, combine everything again and then give it a quick taste. Adjust the seasonings to your tastes and then enjoy!!
