Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds small white boiling potatoes
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons good dry white wine
2 tablespoons chicken stock
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup good olive oil
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and 2 tablespoons salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot off the heat and cover with a clean, dry kitchen towel. Leave the potatoes to steam for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender but firm.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the wine, chicken stock, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Set aside.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters or halves, depending on their size. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and pour enough dressing over them to moisten. (As the salad sits, you may need to add more dressing.) Add the onion, tarragon and parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 lbs red potatoes, peeled & quartered
2 eggs
1/2 lb green beans
3/4 cup grape tomatoes
3/4 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded & coarsely grated
kosher salt

1 lemon, juice of
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Toss cucumber with generous pinch of salt and place in a small strainer. Let drain 15 minutes, then squeeze well to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together mayonaisse, sour cream, herbs, onions, mustard, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Fold in the cucumber. Stir in the tomatoes. Set aside.
  • Boil potatoes and eggs in salted water over high heat until potatoes are almost done. Add the beans and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. (If you are using frozen, make sure they are thawed before putting them in the cooking water). Drain the potatoes and beans, leaving the eggs in the pot. Shake eggs in pot until cracked all over and then cover with cold water.
  • Gently stir potatoes and beans (drained but still hot)in the dressing-tomatoe mixture.
  • Peel eggs and slice into 1/2 inch rounds. Gently mix into the potato mixture.
  • This salad can be served warm, room temperature or cold. I personally like to put it in the fridge and let the flavors meld together for a couple of hours before serving.

Boil the Potatoes: - Use a large pot to avoid overcrowding. - Add a splash of vinegar or salt to the water to prevent the whites from sticking together. - Drain and cool the boiled whites. 2. Preparing the Vegetables: - Dice the celery, carrots, and hard-boiled eggs. - For a tangy kick, pickle the celery in the vinegar used to boil the whites. 3. Make the Herb Dressing: - Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl until emulsified. - Set it in the refrigerator for later use. 4. Combine the Salad Ingredients: - Gently toss the cooled whites, diced celery, carrots, hard-boiled eggs, and fresh parsley together in a large bowl. 5. Adding the Herb Dressing: - Pour the chilled herb vinaigrette over the combined ingredients and mix them well. - Add more if needed. ### General Salad-making Techniques and Variations - Use a variety of whites for different flavors and textures. - Add a crunchy element like croutons or toasted walnuts. - A sprinkle of fresh herbs like dill, basil, or chives adds a pop of freshness. - For a creamy finish, add mayonnaise or Greek yogurt to the vinaigrette. ### Storing and Serving Suggestions - Store the whites-and-vegetable mixture and the herb vinaigrette in separate airtight jars or bowls for 3-4 days. - Toss the whites and veggies together when ready to serve. - Serve on a bed of lettuce or as a side dish with grilled meats, fish, or poultry. ### Balancing Flavors in Salad Dressing - If the vinaigrette is too acidic, add a bit of sugar to balance it out. - If it's bland, try adding more salt, herbs, or a squeeze of fresh citrus. - Use a combination of sweet (sugar or maple syrup), acidic (lemon or vinegar), and savory (salt, mustard, or herbs) flavors. ### Serving and Storing Variations - To add a protein element, top the whites with grilled chicken, bacon, shrimp, or hard-boiled eggs. - For a fresh and tangy touch, sprinkle some pickled onions, cucumbers, or jalapenos. - Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. ### Herb-Mustard Dressing for a Simple Salad - Whisk together extra virgin oil, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, minced shallots, minced fresh tarragon, salt, and sugar until well blended. - Toss this easy herb-infused vinaigrette with mixed greens, hearty veggies, and cherry tomatoes for a quick and flavorful lunch.
