Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 clove garlic clove
Instructions
Rinse and scrub the baby potatoes, leaving the skins on.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic clove, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Finely chop the fresh chives and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly for 3-5 minutes. Cut larger potatoes in half, leaving smaller ones intact for texture variety.
Place the warm potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the potatoes and gently toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped chives over the salad and stir gently to distribute them throughout.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately while warm, or let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
