Steps:
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven combine sliced potatoes and salt. Cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are easily pierced by a paring knife and pulled out with little resistance, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Reserve 1/4 cup cooking water, then drain. Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small food processor or blender, combine the olive oil, 1/3 cup parsley, 1/3 cup green onions, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic and freshly ground black pepper. Process until the herbs and garlic have been chopped into little pieces. Then, while running the food processor, pour in the reserved cooking water and process just until blended. (If you don't have a food processor or blender, just finely chop the parsley and onions and whisk the dressing together until the oil is fully incorporated.)
- Drizzle the potatoes with the herbed olive oil mixture and gently mix to combine. (It will look like you've poured in too much dressing, but don't worry, the potatoes will soak it up!) Let the potatoes rest for ten minutes, gently tossing every few minutes.
- Add the celery to the bowl, along with a couple tablespoons each of additional chopped parsley and green onions. Toss again. Season generously to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. This salad is best served within a few hours, but will keep in the refrigerator for about three days.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH ROASTED POTATOES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with the olive oil, salt and pepper until well combined.
- Spread the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in one even layer and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges are brown and crispy and the insides are tender when pierced with a fork or knife.
- Meanwhile, add the arugula to the bowl you mixed the potatoes in. Toss the arugula making sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl so the leftover oil, salt and pepper in the bowl is mixed with the arugula. Set aside.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle them with the minced garlic and chopped herbs. Toss well so the garlic and herbs are evenly distributed and then spread the potatoes back out into one even layer.
- Put back in the oven for another 5 minutes to heat the garlic and herbs.
- When potatoes are done place them in a bowl with the arugula. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over everything and toss well. Add extra fresh cracked black pepper or a sprinkle of vegan parmesan, if desired.
- Serve hot, room temperature, or even cold.

Steps:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the vinegar, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well mixed. With the machine running, gradually add the olive oil until the dressing is smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, young arugula. Look for leaves that are bright green and tender.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make the salad ahead of time, cook the potatoes and hard-boil the eggs up to 3 days in advance. Store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the salad.
- When assembling the salad, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for up to 1 hour before serving.
