Red and Green Potato Salad
Serves:
Time Required: 20 (20 min. total)

A little lemon gives these warm red potatoes a great taste and keeps things moist.  As always, we’ve found a way to sneak in a nutrient dense green, here providing great contrast in color and texture to the potatoes.

Ingredients:

2 lb(s) red potato(es) -- cut to under 1" pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup(s) green onion -- diced
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard -- or stone ground
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp lemon juice
3 cup(s) arugula -- or endive w/ thick stems removed, or watercress

Directions

Prep Work:  Scrub potatoes and cut to under 1” pieces.  Cut arugula to bite sized pieces, wash, and dry. Combine dressing of olive oil through lemon juice in closed container.

1.  Cover potatoes with water and bring to boil in pan, then reduce and simmer approx. 10 min. If using endive, add to pot for the last 5 min.  Drain.

2.  In serving bowl whisk together olive oil, onions, vinegar, mustard, zest and juice of lemon.  Add 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper (for yield of 6).

3.  Add warm potatoes to dressing and toss gently.  Fold in arugula.
