Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise

3 large shallots, cut into chunks

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed

2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar or white wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon honey

1 cup heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved if large

2 Persian cucumbers, diced

3 radishes, thinly sliced

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon

Directions

  1. Put a rimmed baking sheet in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Toss the potatoes and shallots with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread on the hot baking sheet and roast, tossing halfway through, until tender and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the snap peas and cook until bright green but still crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water; let cool. Drain and pat dry.
  3. Whisk the vinegar, mustard, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Add the roasted potatoes and shallots, peas, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, parsley, chives and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper and toss.

Loved loved loved it. I did sub a couple of things but would still give 5 stars with recipe as written. Hubby wanted green beans so cooked 7 minutes to bright and crispy. Can’t ever find fresh tarragon here in Hawaii so used basil from my garden. Dill would have been a good sub with the beans and cukes . I forgot to put in the tomatoes but didn’t miss them. Served this with a cold meatloaf today (it’s 90*) and will serve this with our baby back ribs next week for company. I’m not putting the tomatoes in then either. Did I say this is good. Great idea to roast the potatoes. Oh, I want more shallots too. Originally gave it 5 stars but 1 cup of peas? Maybe it’s a palmful? After I’ve made it a few times I’ll know what I want but maybe a little more guidance for the home cook the first time. Changed my mind; I will put the tomatoes in next time. Oh, this does not lend itself to leftovers. Sorry this is so long. 💕
