Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

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
3/4 cup mayonnaise
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.
  • Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Fill a large straight-sided saute pan with water, and place over high heat. Bring to a boil; add 1 teaspoon salt and the asparagus. 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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: This will give your salad a more interesting flavor and texture. Some good options include red potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, and fingerling potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are just tender: You don't want them to be too soft, or they will fall apart when you mix them with the other ingredients.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before adding them to the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light and flavorful dressing: A vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is a good option. Avoid using a heavy dressing, as this will overpower the flavor of the potatoes.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Some good options include hard-boiled eggs, bacon, cheese, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This will make it even more refreshing on a hot day.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can easily customize it to your own taste. With these tips, you can make a delicious potato salad that everyone will love.
