Ingredients

Serves:

    • 1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes, washed
    • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
    • 2 sprigs thyme
    • 2 sprigs parsley
    • 1 shallot, cut in half
    • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
    • 1 teaspoon peppercorns
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
    • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 celery stalk, small diced
    • 1/3 cup finely diced red onion
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
    • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill

Directions

Combine the potatoes, parsley, thyme, rosemary, shallot, garlic, and peppercorns in a large saucepot filled with 2 quarts of water, seasoned generously with salt.

Bring the water up to the simmer with all of the ingredients and cook the potatoes gently for 10 to 15 minutes or until a small paring knife can be inserted easily into the potatoes.

Drain the potatoes in a colander and place them on a baking sheet to cool in the refrigerator.

While the potatoes are cooling, whisk the mustard, honey and vinegar in a large bowl to blend.

While whisking, slowly drizzle in the oil until the dressing has emulsified and well blended.

Season to taste with lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Place the cooled potatoes in a large bowl along with the celery, red onion, chives, parsley, and dill.

Toss the salad with enough dressing to coat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Spoon the salad onto serving plates, drizzle any remaining dressing over the salads and serve.

This sounds great, but unfortunately I will probably use a lot of dry herbs, since the fresh ones would only go bad if I purchase all of them.

This is not a vegan recipe. It contains honey. Of course, it can be subbed. But it shouldn't be labeled incorrectly.

If you don't normally cook with fresh herbs ask a friend who cooks with them to let you have just what you need for this recipe. Once you make a recipe with fresh herbs, you'll be buying them on every grocery trip! Or growing your own, which is even better. Our front porch is so aromatic the neighbors come over just for the smell! (We have lots of flowers too!)
