• In a large salad bowl, combine the potatoes, beans and red onion. Drizzle over enough dressing to coat everything thoroughly. Cover and chill from 2 to 24 hours.Serve.
• Just before serving, toss salad with bacon and top with feta. Serve additional vinaigrette on the side, or reserve for another use.
• Note1: Fingerling potatoes are not around just now, so I used red potatoes that I peeled and cut into quarters or eights, which worked very nicely. I have also added some sweet potatoes to the other potatoes, and that was good, too.
• Note2: I mixed the vinaigrette in a 2 cup measuring cup with my stick blender, which worked perfectly.
• Note3: Extra dressing keeps for several weeks, according to chef, but I used it up faster than that.
• Note4: This makes a whole lot more salad than I can use. I just cook up two or three potatoes, a good handful of the beans and drizzle a bit of the dressing on it. Once you make the dressing, this is a snap.
• Note5: I use just a slice or two of bacon per serving, and often don't use it at all. I think chunks of good ham or turkey would be really nice in this, too.

GRILLED SALMON WITH TZATZIKI (CUCUMBER-YOGURT SAUCE) AND WARM FINGERLING POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Several hours before serving, make the potato salad: Rinse the potatoes, leaving their skins on. Put them in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover well and add a sprinkling of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, and then adjust the heat to maintain a steady boil and cook until the potatoes are just tender enough to be pierced easily with a long metal skewer, about 15 minutes. Drain well, transfer to a large mixing bowl filled with ice and water, and leave until thoroughly cooled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in another mixing bowl, stir together the vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Peel the potatoes, using your fingertips and, if necessary, a small, sharp knife to slip off their skins. Cut each potato crosswise into discs about 1/4 inch thick and add them to the vinegar mixture. Add the red onion, toss gently, cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours. Make tzatziki For the salmon: Preheat an outdoor or indoor charcoal or gas grill. Brush the salmon fillets on both sides with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill to the desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side per 1 inch of thickness for medium, 5 minutes per side for cooked through but still moist. Meanwhile, put the potato salad in a sauté pan with the chicken broth and butter and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Taste and adjust the seasonings with more salt and pepper, if necessary. To serve, spoon the potato salad onto 4 serving plates to form even beds. Place a salmon fillet on top of each. Spoon some of the cool cucumber sauce over each fillet and around the plate, transferring the rest to a serving bowl to pass at table. Garnish each serving with a dill sprig. Serve immediately.
