Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

14 medium red potatoes
¼ cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 cups shredded red cabbage
1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 large red onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 cucumber, diced
1 (15.5 ounce) can white kidney or cannelini beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup grated Romano cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until tender, but still firm. It will take about 20 minutes. Drain, cool and cut into bite-size pieces.
  • In a large salad bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, and Dijon mustard. Add the cabbage, corn, red onion, red pepper, green pepper, yellow pepper, and cucumber. Add kidney beans, if desired. Mix in the cooled potatoes. Wash your hands, and use them to mix everything together until well coated with the dressing. Gently stir in the Romano cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill for one hour before serving.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it with a different vinaigrette next time.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, so I used crumbled blue cheese instead. It was a great substitute.

I used crumbled feta cheese instead of goat cheese. It was still delicious!

I added a bit of honey to the vinaigrette to make it a little sweeter.

This salad is a great way to use up fresh berries. I used a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
