The base of this recipe is a simple potato salad dressed in a bright mustard dressing. It is elevated with addition of colorful, bright green spring vegetables. Sliced sugar snap peas and asparagus, plus lots of fresh herbs make this an optimal all-in-one fresh spring side.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender but still holding their shape, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, then spread out on a baking sheet to cool slightly, about 20 minutes.
  2. While the potatoes cook, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and peas and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, about 30 seconds. Drain, then immediately run under cold water to cool. Transfer to a towel-lined plate and blot dry.
  3. Whisk together the vinegar, mustard and shallot in a large bowl. Whisk in the olive oil until smooth. Add the potatoes, asparagus and peas, tossing to coat; season with salt and pepper. Add half of the chopped herbs and toss, then sprinkle the remaining herbs on top.
