Fingerling Potato Salad with Whole Grain Mustard Vinaigrette

Prep Time

5 minutes

Cook Time

20 minutes

Yield

6 Servings

Ingredients

2 1⁄2 pounds potato, fingerling (any mix of colors)
1 onion, red (frenched)
4 tablespoons parsley, fresh
1⁄4 cup sherry vinegar
3 tablespoons mustard, whole grain
1 1⁄2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1⁄2 cup olive oil
  salt (to taste)
  black pepper, ground (to taste)

Instructions

Place potatoes in a pot of cold water and bring to a simmer.  Cook just until a knife cleanly pierces the potatoes.  Cool under running water.  Cut in half lengthwise.

Combine potatoes, onion and herbs in a large mixing bowl.

To make the dressing, combine vinegar, mustard, mayo, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl and drizzle in oil while whisking, stopping when dressing reaches desired consistency.

Toss salad in dressing to taste, being careful not to overdress.

Notes

Try substituting fingerling potatoes with other waxy, small potato varieties, if you'd like to experiment with other colors and textures.
