Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 medium Carrots
- 2 Celery stalks
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces).
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
While the potatoes cook, peel and dice the carrots into small cubes. Steam or cook them in boiling water for 4-5 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and let cool.
Dice the celery stalks, red bell pepper, and red onion into small, even pieces.
In a small saucepan, blanch the frozen peas in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until bright green, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Add the cooled potatoes, carrots, celery, bell pepper, onion, and peas to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad. Gently fold in to mix.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a side dish and enjoy!
