3 pounds fingerling potatoes
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
1 cup fresh shelled peas
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, plus sprigs for garnish

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, (1 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
8 ounces sugar snap peas, strings removed and cut in half
1 fennel bulb, finely diced (10 ounces, 2 cups diced)

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover by several inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, add 1 tablespoon salt, and lower to a gentle boil. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Drain into a colander. Using gloves or paper towels to protect your hands, slice hot potatoes into 3/4-inch-thick rounds. Drizzle with vinegar, and set aside.

Cook until just barely tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to ice bath until cool. Dry, and cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces. Place peas in boiling water, and cook until bright green, about 1 minute. Drain into a colander; transfer to ice bath to stop cooking. Dry on towels.
  • Place mint, basil, mayonnaise, lemon juice, remaining teaspoon salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl, add reserved potato mixture, asparagus, peas, sugar snap peas, and fennel, and toss to combine. Garnish with basil and mint leaves, and serve.
