This is an elevated version of a classic, creamy potato salad. The dressing gets a pop of flavor from prepared horseradish and Dijon mustard. Toss with quickly blanched, crunchy sugar snap peas, celery and herbs for a colorful, creamy and refreshing summer side.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Put the potatoes in a large pot and add water to cover; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Add the vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt and toss. Let cool.
  2. Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the snap peas and cook until crisp-tender, 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl of ice water, then drain and halve lengthwise.
  3. Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish, mustard, 2 tablespoons water and the lemon zest in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Gently stir into the potatoes along with the snap peas, celery, dill, chives and parsley.

Cook’s Note

Never drop your potatoes into boiling water; they’ll cook unevenly. Put them in a pot, cover with cold water (and some salt), bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
