Potato Salad With Pesto and Asparagus image

This is a wonderful, different twist on potato salad! I love the flavors of the red potatoes, asparagus, and pesto mayonnaise! What a great combination! This goes great with grilled chicken, sandwiches, or tortilla wraps. I could eat this stuff every day!

I would make this salad again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less salt and I would cook the asparagus for a shorter amount of time.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special.

The asparagus was a bit tough.

This salad was a bit too salty for my taste.

This salad was amazing! The pesto and asparagus added so much flavor and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
