Asparagus Red Pepper Potato Salad Recipes

CREAMY ASPARAGUS POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook 1 pound asparagus (trimmed, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces) in salted boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to ice water to cool; drain. Add 1 pound quartered baby potatoes to the boiling water and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes, then drain. Whisk 1/2 cup creme fraiche, 1/4 cup each chopped chervil and chives and 2 tablespoons each olive oil, white wine vinegar and chopped dill in a large bowl. Add the asparagus and potatoes; season with salt and pepper and toss. Refrigerate.

ASPARAGUS, RED PEPPER, AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling water to cover until tender. Without peeling, cut the potatoes into ¾-inch cubes and put them in a bowl. Snap off the tough bottoms of the stalks of asparagus and discard, then cook the tender tops in a shallow pan of simmering salted water until tender-crisp. Drain and shock in cold water. Slice the asparagus into 1 ½-inch pieces and add to the potatoes. Cut the pepper into sticks about the same width and length as the asparagus. Put in the bowl. Add the red onion.
• Mix up the dressing by stirring together the mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle in the oil, whisking constantly to emulsify. Add a couple of dashes of Tabasco to taste.
• Add the dressing to the vegetables and give a good stir. Serve right away for best color in the asparagus.

PEPPER AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Chunk up the potatoes, cutting them into large bite-size pieces and place them in a pot of water. Boil until tender, drain and return back to hot pot to dry them out. Add hot peppers, bell peppers and scallions to potatoes, then dress with a splash of hot pepper juice and vinegar. Toss to combine, then drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to coat the salad evenly and season with salt and pepper.

Leaving the blender running, add the coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
